I have done a number of multiday tours on my Rambouillet with the Nitto Rear Rack and Pa Panniers. I pack light but easily carry tent, bag, matt, cooking gear, clothes, food, and a few other small items. The bike handles great and I havnt had any trouble with it. Ive also used the rack

Hello RBW I can´t find that traditional looking handlbar bag in cotton duck only the saddlebags like the Nelson and Barley. I´m looking for that convenient style that do not need a rack. All ideas are welcomed. Carl Otto Wollin Subject: RE: [RBW] Rack on Rambouillet From: palin...@his.com

Hi Steve Thanks for the uppdate, so its a co-op between Rivendell and Carradice now I know the story. How do you compare Acorns to Carradice and Berthoud. Carl Otto Wollin Subject: RE: [RBW] Rack on Rambouillet Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2010 12:13:49 -0500 From: frede...@mail.lib.msu.edu To: rbw

Tubus Fly. My 3 Rivendells carried heavy (up to 40 lb) loads on a Fly with nary a quiver. The Fly also bolts to your rear brake pivot bolt. On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 8:10 AM, George Strickler chobur...@gmail.comwrote: I am contemplating a 10-14 day trip this summer using plastic and sleeping in

I use an elegant tubus Luna. It is designed for light loads, however I have used it on my rambouillet packed with tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, clothes (all light weight models) and was a sheer joy. Will do it again this summer! Cheers, Chris On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 7:10 AM, George
