Singer, Herse, Toei) but the ol' Saluki will have to do with the
simple berthoud bags. I hang six berthouds on it at once if needed.

I've been following this thread for a while and not responding because
I don't have/want a large handlebar bag. I'm more into day rides and
just need something smaller. After looking at a bazillion different
bags (Brand V, Carradice, Ortlieb, etc.) and trying to get the right

Its difficult to find any fault with the Acorn bags - made right here
in Southern California. I echo the comments stated here as to the
qualities of the bags. As an alternative to the Berthouds, I'd also
look at the Loyal Designs rando bag made in Berkeley (sorry, again --

I'm not sure I know what you're saying, Gino, but I never bother fastening the
main lid. Wind and gravity hold it down. I've only fastened it when carrying
the bike on a car or bus rack.
I agree they are both excellent bags!

I have to fasten bags and lids - riding off road in northern CA is
rough going. So if it ain't strapped, it goes airborne. :-)

For a small front rack bag, I like the Bailey Works D-Rack Bag.
It's made for the nitto mini front rack and is similar in size and
function to the Sackville small TrunkSack. Though I really like that
the D-Rack bag is made to order in any color combo you want. The
quality is impressive, and
I'm in total agreement about the Berthoud bag with a decaleur. I've
tried a number of different handlebar bags and this is the best by
far. Be sure to measure the room you have for mounting and get the
right size. I also agree that the elastic bands are much easier to
use than the leather strap
I have only used the Acorn Boxy but like it alot. It requires the
front rack you already have, but no other mounting hardware. It is
very stable, easily attached (with 4 velcros below and two cords
around the brake hoods) and easily moved from bike to bike, or to
carry with you. Only used in short

I like my Acorn Boxy Bag. The map case on top is wonderful, and the
turnbuckle closures on the rider-facing little pockets are so easy to
open and close with gloved fingers. Easier than elastic, for sure.
Mine currently sits on a VO Rando front rack (soon to be sitting on a

I have an Acorn Boxy - just got it to match my Large Saddlebag for my
Hilsen. Initial comments before riding:
1. I like the fact that it mounts low and is easy on/off
2. It is well made and seems very stable
3. It's on the small side, so make sure it's big enough for what you will
use it for

The Inujirushi bag has been good to me over the course of 10,000+ miles.
Still looks great.

I found the inner opening more difficult - having to fish it through the
decaleur to open and/or close took more attention that reaching over the
Inujirushi, for me. They're both super nice bags though, and both beautiful.
What did you find harder to use about the Berthouds?
