Banana sack holds slightly more and opens wider for easier access. For me xs saddle sack was perfect for flat fit stuff keys phone snack for summer rides. It holds a surprising amount. But as soon as I needed just a few more items like windbreaker gloves and earmuffs the lack of a zip around

Re: [RBW] Re: New Frame Day - Rivendell Mixte "Cargo" bike

Yes, especially on Rivs which have longer threaded sections on the fork, due to the extension of the steerer above the headset. I hold the stem up to the bike to see where it must be to get the wedge below the headset. Usually need to drop the stem another 1/4" to 1/2" below the minimum

Nice bike/build, Laing. Just a reminder to be careful with shorter-quill stems, that the wedge isn't landing in the threaded portion of the steerer. =- Joe Bunik Walnut Creek, CA On 9/8/20, lconley wrote: > [image: IMG_0686.jpg] > > Sorry for the sideways picture. This shows the rack bolted to

Hi Ben, Just my take, and possibly different than others... I think the more slim you are the more the sweaters run true to size. That said, being not as slim as I would like, I sized up and that approach ended up working really well for me (from an XL to 2XL). I normally wear XL shirts and
