[RBW] Re: New Roadini; Bag... Sackville or Swift Industries

[lambbo]

This is all super helpful!  

Bob, to answer your question about saddle height, 32.6", which is about 
3/4" higher than in the photo.  I'm 6'1, and I thought this bike would be 
too big, it's not, it's perfect, tho I might get a shorter stem to bring 
the bars a hair closer, eventually. 

I think I'm going to go with the Small Sackville Saddle Sack - in blue...it 
seems small enough that I'm not transforming my Roadini into my Cheviot ;) 
 but big enough for an extra layer and a sketchpad.  

The Bagman support also seems smart - tho i'll try to jerry-rig something 
first.  

And CMR, I'm gonna get some new brakes - was trying to build from the parts 
bin but I ended up with almost all new stuff - brakes will top it all off. 

Thanks again pics when I get it!

[RBW] Re: New Roadini; Bag... Sackville or Swift Industries

[Tim Bantham]

I have experience with Swift bags and don't have anything bad to say about 
them. I have my Sam set up similar to your Roadini. I wanted to maintain a 
road-ish feel yet still be able to carry stuff. I started out with a 
Sackville X-small saddlesack and had a Swift Paloma bag on the bars with a 
Quick Clix mount. This was an ok set up but I just didn't like the way the 
Swift bag looked. The headtube on my 62 Sam is super tall and the bag just 
looked funny to me on the front. I had a Marks Rack mounted at the time so 
I then opted for a Wald 137 basket with a Swift Sugarloaf bag. This was a 
really nice set up but I was getting away from my goal of keeping the Sam 
as unencumbered as possible. I eventually added a Appaloosa to my stable 
which is now reserved for touring and camping where carrying capacity is a 
necessity. 

As for Sackville stuff I can't say enough how much I like the product. 
Swift makes a nice bag but I just never did get excited about them as much 
as I do for Sackville bags. I currently own an X-Small, a Medium, A Large, 
a Banana Sax and a pair of hub area bags. Wow! I guess I have a bag 
obsession!

My current Sam setup is just the Banana Sax which I can highly recommend. I 
wouldn't be able to put shoes in there but I never would have a need for 
that. My recommendation is to go with Sackville. The quality and lifespan 
you will get out of one of their bags is well worth the price tag.

[RBW] Re: New Roadini; Bag... Sackville or Swift Industries

[Michael Doleman]

Gorgeous bike; nice build.

I had actually ordered myself a Roadini, but switched directions and got a 
new Sam, instead. Part of me lusts after that Roadini, as I do love the 
look & feel of a more "pure" and "fast" road bike. Like yourself, however, 
I do like to carry a few things on my rides, and do so comfortably (without 
stuffing jersey pockets to over-flowing, or having to cram things into some 
idiotically-tiny saddlebag.

For myself, the way I was planning to outfit it, was to use center pull 
brakes -- 
these: 
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brakes/diacompe-gran-compe-610-centre-pull-caliper-brake-4761-mm-drop-allen-key-fitting-front-or-rear/?geoc=US

And then use the Ene Ciclo front rack designed for them: 
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/carriers-racks/diacompe-ene-front-rack-brake-mounted/?geoc=US

I thought that to be a pretty slick little system. I really like the way it 
gives you a nifty little front rack, yet maintains the very clean, 
road-oriented lines of the bike. I mean: say what you will, but there's 
something about the look of an unfettered fork that looks really nice. 
Anyway, combine the rack with a stem-mounted decaleur, you could mount a 
reasonably-sized handlebar bag -- which, to me, is almost always preferable 
to a saddlebag.

On that note, however, you also have the nifty option of getting yourself 
one of 
these: 
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/luggage/carradice-original-bagman-support-expedition/?geoc=US

And support it with 
these: 
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/luggage/carradice-bagman-stabiliser-struts/?geoc=US

>From there, you can use any number of reasonably-sized saddlebags. The 
Carradice Barley, at 7 liters, is a great option. That, paired with a 
10-ish liter handlebar bag, and you can very easily do credit-card touring.

You could also mount the Riv-exclusive Nitto mini rear rack: the bike has 
the properly-positioned eyelets for it. Of course, it being a "road" bike, 
it's more fun to keep it clear of larger racks -- but it's an option, and 
if you used wing-bolt fasteners, it would be easy on/off.

Best of luck :-)

Sorry for the slightly OT question but can you say what size your Roadini 
is and the approximate saddle height (crank center -> top of saddle) as 
pictured?  Sorry if I missed this previously.

Thanks for any help.  Great looking bike!

Re: [RBW] Re: New Roadini; Bag... Sackville or Swift Industries

[Tim Gavin]

For small loads, I really like a randonneur-style front bag.  Very easy to
access on and off the bike.

I have a Riv Road Standard, Leo Roadini's fancy great-grandpa.  No rack
mounts on the fork (like yours), so I used a Nitto M1 Mark's Rack
, plus the
extra-long
stays

down to the fender mounts on the back of the fork tips.  Nitto M18 would
work the same, and either rack can be mounted to p-clamps on the fork
legs.  I just prefer the appearance and security of the long stays.

The bag is from listmember David Banzer, Treetop Bags
.

[RBW] Re: New Roadini; Bag... Sackville or Swift Industries

[Ron Mc]

Going to mention Ely at Ruthworks.  He can make you a very nice rando bag 
to hang from a Nitto F-15 handlebar rack.  
He can use canvas or lightweight fabrics, and I would guess any choice of 
colors.  

  
 Since the rando bag a rigid internal U-box, 
I bolted a Cygolite helmet mount to the bottom of mine using M3s.

[jandrews_nyc]

The banana sax type of bag would also be very useful and you'd never feel 
it.  Not sure if it would carry your shoes though,.
Also, I second the notion of trying the caradice bagman support. I have had 
a good experience with that rack.
That looks like McGorlick Park in Greenpiont...   Is that were you are?

Small saddle bag for sure, maybe with a support rack if needed.

Also, not related, I'd totally spend the money for a set of modern dual

[RBW] Re: New Roadini; Bag... Sackville or Swift Industries

[lconley]

I like to use a saddlebag with a Carradice Bagman support. It moves the bag 
away from your legs - never touches. I have two - one on a Ostrich 
S-2 saddle bag and one on a Nigel Smythe country bag. Plenty of room for 
day rides for shoes, food, tools, and a compact pump. I wish Riv still did 
the Nigel Smythe bags, but they seem to have evolved from the tweed thing 
to something more like shabby chic. The Ostrich actually has a sewn-in 
pocket on the bottom for the support.
