Hi Joel, I also own both the Sackville and the Acorn bag. The Acorn can expand quite a bit aft from the pics and has an inner closure to keep the contents from spilling out. The shape and the side pockets are what makes the Acorn work better, for me at least. Shape has no thigh rub. Side

No worries. My point is that, although the SH most closely matches the kind of frame I want, I am considering other Riv models as well, and frame geo is one of the factors I am weighing. I wouldn't rule out any frame for not exactly matching my ideal. In fact, most of my bikes are less than
