Hi Robert,
What is your PBH? I demoed a 55cm Cheviot and it felt a bit small, but I
wasn't able to adjust the seat fore/aft to find out if that solved the issue.
Your have a beautiful bike!
Thanks,
Joyce

Has anyone used both, and can that person tell me whether the Backabikes
hold as much as the Ortliebs? The Ortiliebs are rated at 100 ci more each,
but I think that involves the extendable lip at the opening.
So: Practically speaking, when you are at the checkout counter hastily
dumping groceries
For another data point, I had a 55cm Cheviot (same color, it was gorgeous). My
PBH is 79-80ish, I'm 5'-7", short legs/long torso. It fit me great in the
upright position I prefer.

'Nother question: Does anyone know of a bag as simply constructed as the
Backabike, and well if not as well made, that is bigger?
A Backabike at about 1,000 ci each would be very nice.

Hey Mark C. I am from West Virginia; grew up down around Charleston. What
part are you in? I'm in Columbus, OH these days with a Clem H if you ever
get out this way and want to try it out.

Hi Joyce,
In all honesty, I cant quite remember my pbh, but I think it is around 78.
If it helps I have a 30" inseam and am 5' 9" the bike fits very well as an
upright bike. I dont feel crowded on it in that way. I have just decided
that I dont like a more upright riding position which is really
Here is the bike that can do anything. Anything! Pull children on
trail-a-bikes, ride to the beach, have stuffed animal picnics on sunny
days, whisk you away over northern prairies, conquer Nevada’s unreasonable
hills, and sparkle like a gemstone wrapped in Christmas lights for the
holidays.
Hi Joe,
Yes, I think the reason I want to move it is because I tried the upright
position and dont prefer it. I am 5'9" with a pbh of 78 or 79 and it giys
me beautifully, as an upright bike. I have a 51 sam now too so I cant
justify keeping both. I hope somebody is interested. It is a high quality
Ack, I missed a naming opportunity. Backabikes become StayOntheBackaBikes!

While I love the simple look and the fabric of the Backabikes, it seems
that, with the leather buckle closures, they are meant to be left on one's
bike. For me, they just wouldn't be useful for things like groceries,
unfortunately! (And here in the city I just wouldn't leave bags on

Point taken Jack—if I lived in Seattle, I might feel differently about dryers.

My own take is that the combo of the bad-a-bike panniers with the latest
large saddlebag (whatever it's called) and/or strapping things on the rear
rack or atop the saddlebag is able to carry 90+ lbs of non-processed whole
food (less produce, more bulk of eggs, dairy, grains, etc.). Volume is
I've owned a large (several, actually) Saddlesack, one Backabike with the
leather straps/brass buckles, and currently have a set of Front Roller Classics
which I think are older-name Sport Packers. My completely subjective
impressions:
Large Saddlebag holds a ton, assuming you have enough
+ 1 for others' comments about the attachment systems pro's and con's. I'm
able to wheel my bike thru the stores, so quick on/off isn't as important,
but I do know the annoyance of having frequently to install and remove
Carradice and Rivendell saddlebags.

Thanks, I will check those out.
Now that I look closely, I actually owned a pair of these some years ago
and found them insufficient for some reason; not in volume, certainly, but
I think because they sagged under weight despite the bottom supporting
straps. With the Ortliebs and similar
Thanks, Joe. I wish the BackaBike's were 25% larger, then they'd be perfect.

I love the *Banjo Brothers Market Panniers*. 1500 cu in., very well made,
easy on and off, covered with flap, $50/bag. I use these on the back of my
Atlantis, which has the Nitto Big Back Rack (33R).

I mean sure, we can have a thread about processed vs. non-processed food and if
you can carry 90 lbs. of it, but that's not really what you asked. So getting
back to your question, I have an addendum: Upon further reflection I think the
Backabikes are a bitter wider and fit a bit more than
David,
I would say "No" to all-day riding with the Jitensha bar. It's not wide
enough, nor does it have a grip area large enough to afford multiple hand
positions, at least comfortable ones.
My recommendations for non-drop bars for hours of riding and multiple hand
positions would be, in
Volume is necessary when you carry a couple of 5 lb bags of flour plus
various bags of bulkier veg like potatoes and onions, plus big vats of
yogurt and a couple of cheeses and a 12-pack, plus delicate veg like
avocados and tomatoes! I don't buy a great deal of processed foods myself,
but I'm not
Oh good, another Leah Bicycle Belle bike that's just perfect and rare and
