[RBW] Re: The Siren Call of Sapphire Shopsacks

[Bill Lindsay]

The Sapphire Sacks will not be going on my Blue Rosco.  I'm waiting on a 
new Atlantis from Waterford.  It's taking forever because they didn't have 
the chainstays, I'm told.  Maybe by June 1st it will arrive.  It'll end up 
being a 6 month wait, but I've got plenty of bikes.  I wanted a non-seafoam 
color, but I didn't want to spend a ton of extra money.  Will showed me a 
Waterford page of their standard paint colors.  The upcharge was small.  I 
chose a dark metallic grey, inspired years ago by Pudge's metallic grey 
Atlantis.  I think the Sapphire will look great on a metallic grey Atlantis.

Carla and Bill, I think the SapphireSacks look much different in real life than 
they do on the Riv website. I am going to either sell or trade my tan medium 
Saddlesack because I've never liked the color. I LOVE the gray Saddlesacks, but 
now I'm rethinking the blue. I didn't like the looks of the blue Saddlesack on

OK, I must admit that I too was seduced by Sappho. I guess you can have too 
many bags. I'm not there yet ;-)). I have a gray med. shopsack that 
occupies a med. Wald. Time to alternate as the same bag in blue is about to 
land. Of course there's always the possibility that my wife will snag it 
for a shopping bag. That would be jake with me.

I got my Blue Shopsack just now, smelling strongly of Pine Tar soap, which 
I ordered at the same time.  Now I'm set for my Sapphire accessory kit for 
my next "cool" colorway bike build.  

As predicted, they are already down to three remaining blue ShopSacks.  So 
don't wait too long, if you are sure you need one.

Regarding using shopsacks as handbags, I have never used a handbag but had 
my shopsack at the grocery store with two other bags. I put all three on 
the belt at checkout and the checker filled the other two and then stopped. 
I told her to go ahead and fill the shopsack and she said, "Oh, I thought 
that was your purse".

Carla,
That will look great on the SAM!!!

Great thread.  My wife and I traveled 1,000 miles with our Rivs to tour San 
Francisco.  It was great!  I highly recommend Streets of San Francisco Bike 
tours.   Anyway, she has the grey shopsack in her Wald on her Betty and got 
several compliments on her shopsack as we were in and out of shops. She was 
out hipping the hipsters.  It fits perfectly in the medium wald.  Saphire 
is a good name for the new blue or indigo.  I am thinking it will look 
really cool as it fades and gets some beausage... kind of like me.

Oh, Chris, we DO think alike. And we've got ourselves in trouble now. All these 
bags in all these colors... So, I also use the Grabsack as a purse. It's a 
great, lightweight bag for summer, but has muted enough looks that it actually 
is great for any season. It holds my whole iPad, and like most Riv bags, has 
more room than you think. I do wish the bag held its shape at the bottom, but 
yours is the tan and those are made from tougher material which may hold its 
shape. This bag would really shine if I was the type to carry more in my bag, 
but I'm a minimalist. If you tend to schlep around more stuff, you'll love the 
Grabsack!

Also, I came across these on Amazon, and just may adorn one of my Sackvilles 
with them:

Valerie, I agree! Medium is more my size. The large looks too big. I could also 
see this bag being great for the beach (shaking out the sand would be easy), or 
for tossing extra clothing in when traveling, or as airplane carryon, or a 
library bag...the possibilities are endless. I bought my sister the gray 
Shopsack for Christmas one year, but I don't think the previous colors were 
pretty enough to be carried as handbags. I changed my mind when I saw the 
Sapphire though. That bag looked downright pretty.

I love the shopsacks. I don't use them as handbags but I definitely use 
them off the bike as often as I do on. I prefer the medium size for use on 
the bike. For me, that is mostly grocery shopping / farmer's market, the 
gym, etc. The medium fits perfectly in the medium Wald basket and the Wald 
Bosco basket. I would want it secured in the large Wald basket but I think 
that could easily be done. 

I tried the large/large combo and it is bigger than I need or want on a 
bike but it is excellent for errands made via car where I am toting around 
large, heavy, or awkward items (pet food, books, laserjet toner cartridges, 
fabric, goodwill donations, etc.)

Leah, great minds think alike!  Yesterday I sat down and did a major 
shopping spree at Riv online.  I started out wanting to get a blue extra 
small bag but they were already sold out.  SoI ordered the gray one.  I 
also got the tan grab bag which I plan to use for my purse. So, we shall 
see if it functions ok at that duty.  Bought a bunch of other stuff but 
wanted to finally spring on the Saddleback products.

[Shoji Takahashi]

Hi Leah,
I agree RE: saddlesacks. Gray, olive, tan... looks right to me.

The SafireSack looks great. I have olive medium and tan large. I think I 
can make room for a blue one (with the added bonus of zippered pouch 
inside-- which for me is a nice addition to the otherwise wonderful bag). 

Medium or Large ShopSack will fit in large wald. (Medium is dimensionally 
perfect for medium Wald.) You'll probably be fine without strapping it onto 
the basket. But there are plenty of places to clip the bag onto the basket 
or cover it with a bungie cargo net.

I've used both medium and large ShopSacks as an airplane carry on. The 
straps are a little tight for me to throw over my shoulder; my SO (who is 
smaller than I) doesn't have that problem. One could clip a shoulder strap 
for easier hoisting. 

Tailwinds, shoji
