Kelly: No one will notice once you mount the bags :-). As to drilling, if you are talking about the fork, Rivendell specifically warned me NOT to do so on my Atlantis. Not always doing what I'm told, I did it anyway, with the help of someone who's built a few bikes and knows his way around a torch. Having mid-fork eyelets is a necessity for me. They make putting things together at the beginning of a tour worth the effort. Paint damage was major but a few brush coats of Testor's took care of that, if you don't look too closely. OTH, if you only occassionally need front bags, a couple of nice P-clamps with vinyl coating are easier on the paint.
