Mark, I’m kind of coming around to the idea of the Pletscher. I used the
mousetrap yesterday and it was a cool feature, even I have to admit. And you
really don’t see the rack under the bags, it’s true. I need the pannier rails!
I’ll order them when I get back to Vegas end of this week. The blue
Fantastic!
Unless my monitor is way off, you were correct, it looks like the latest
blue Sackvilles are a different blue--more yellow, with the original
leaning toward a red bias. Looks awesome with the aqua-tine! (And the rack
looks so pretty and useful. Wait till the first time you clamp some
Gosh that's a gorgeous bike. Nice work, Leah Belle Shama Lama Ding Dong! 😁

I think a Riv safety triangle from the back seat would add the perfect
splash of complimentary color. I also sense that they do get some drivers
to think just the teeny-tiniest bit. Which is something. Anyway, I have a
couple in circulation and rarely pedal from home without one. Cheery, too!

Love, love, love the color combo! This is classy with *personality.* The
Randi Jo bag with its vibrant colors is an added bonus. I have a feeling
that you'll be loving this bike even more tomorrow when you ride with these
bags. Cheery-ness will be surrounding you.

Hi Leah. Yes and Yes. You can see the bags on the Clementine in the middle
photo of my last post in this thread. I purchased both the pannier rails
and the tail light mount for the Clem rack. May get the pump mount as well.
I recommend the pannier rails as they position the bags a bit lower. I've
c
Leah, The Clem rails work well with the backabike bag, and free up the top
rack for load without interfering with the panniers. And Mark's correct ...
the rack isn't seen with the bags on, and even less with a top load in
addition. The only reason I can see for going Nitto instead is load
assur
Mark - did you have the Backabike bags on the Clem rack? Did you buy and use
the pannier rails for that Clem rack? Wondering if they work with the
Backabikes and if I should order them or just rig the Backabike to the top of
the rack...
Thanks!
Leah

Another reason to have multiple bikes is so you have a backup to ride if one is
in the shop. Didn’t that happen with your Betty earlier this year?

‘‘Tis not a stressor but a source of joy once you learn to fully embrace
playing musical bike bits, and yes that beautiful big back rack medium will

I did it. I got the bags after weeks and weeks of hemming and hawing (I wanted
them in Royal even before I had the Clementine). But, Rivendell has no Nitto
medium rear rack in stock. The current rack on the bike is the loathsome
Pletscher, and it has no rails, and I am planning to sell it. Wonde
Roberta, I love the saddle but for the noise it makes. It’s creaky. I spent
money this year getting the copper-riveted Select for the Betty and may switch.
Or put my old B68 (springless version of the B67) on. I am considering the
copper river version of your saddle, however. But first, the blue
How are you liking the sprung saddle on the Clemintine? I know your Betz
doesn't have one with springs.
My Joe A went from fabulous to super fabulous when I changed my B17 to a
sprung Flyer (the top is the same). I don't hear it squeak any longer (it
still squeaks sometimes, but I just don't
I can relate to the fidgetousness of having more than one bike. It feels
like hubris.
Anyway, the cyan+dark blue bag combination is good. It was imprinted on my
brain by heavy use of Wordperfect 5.1.

I'm sure there are many on this list who have way more than just one (or
even just two) bikes. I myself have 4: a Riv road bike (Rambouillet), an
old early 70's Fuji Finest road bike (rebuilt and reconfigured as a
Resurrectio), a single-speed MTB (Surly 1x1), and a dual-boinger Trek MTB
(which
The critical key to bike and bag matching is mud and dirt. Remove fenders,
ride in mud and dirt, and it all takes care of itself from there. Grin.
However, since you have mud prevention devices on there, blue is the way to
go.

Hi, Leah!
I LOVE the color of your Clementine and am so happy for you loving that
bike. It must be really super fantastic to already have you make up your
mind that it gets top billing, above Betz, something I never thought would
happen, you love it so much.
The grey and the green bags are ni
Joe,
Thanks! I, too, love the color of the Clementine more than I imagined. I
thought it was a bit much next to my classy Betty Foy and Mom’s subdued lite
sage Cheviot, but that aqua has WON ME OVER. I like your theories on frame and
bag colors - they make sense to me.
Mark,
Guess what? That
