It's a 2003 custom road bike built for 559 or 571 wheels (currently 559X31). It handles fine with less than 10 lb in front (it will carry 25 easily in the back). The front rack is a VO Randonneur rack, the rear a custom. The light strut needs some polishing and smoothing -- it's hard aluminum! The new bag will go on this rack. Fenders (flat Civias) coming. The bike, sans bags, pump and bottles with with lights and racks weighs 21 1/2 lb.
I've got another very similar Riv that is unburdened with racks or anything else except a single bottle cage.
