Dr. Douglas Brooks is his very articulate writing has characterized Rivendell bikes as 'resourceful'. I take this to mean that he finds Rivendell designs to be adaptable.
This has been my experience with my Custom and Saluki. Generally I ride with seat bags. On longer rides or during the inclement seasons (such as they are here in Calif.) I add a front bag and discern no degradation in handling. On the Saluki I use a mini loafer on a Mark's rack. On the custom I mount a Riv Bar bag.
