[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

Annie, There's a handlebar bag I've seen a couple times on ebay that might fit the bill, though I've never used it and have no idea of the quality:

Re: [RBW] A plug to buy something from Rivendell Bicycle Works: A Nitto F-15 rack

Alex Cycle in Japan has a number of Ostrich bags that fit the F15. The US has a very favorable exchange rate with the Yen these days. I'm still debating whether the F15 or the Klickfix mount such as Swift uses. Either way, I'm reluctant to need a rack for a front bag as I would like to move

[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

I would love to have the Acorn mini rando, too, but Ron decided not to produce it any more. Likely sales didn't justify the time needed to produce a small bag with so many details. If there is one up for sale I'm certainly willing to make an offer. Cheers Bill in Roswell, GA On Sunday,

[RBW] Re: Hillborne tire clearance

I use 700x40mm Mondials (measures 39.5) with sks fenders and 45mm Smart Sams without fenders. The Smart Sams rubbed occasionally on a Pletscher double kickstand when I cranked the pedals. I swapped it out for a single and had no further problems. John On Sunday, November 27, 2016 at 2:39:55

[RBW] Re: Anyone seen that Rosco Bunbaloosa in person?

I only saw the frameset a couple of months ago at Riv. Looked like it had bigger tire clearance than the Hillborne-fork-based Roscoes have. It was one of the best looking mixtes I've ever seen. Between the lower bar, grab handle bar, clearance for wider tires and that beautiful, matte blue,

[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

Everyone has been most helpful! I think it's very interesting (and little annoying) that the bosco bars have so much hand real estate yet traditional handle bar bags will only work, using a bracket which offsets it just enough to allow full hand movement across the bar. I now understand why

[RBW] Re: Choosing between Sam and Joe

I would lean toward the Sam only because you sound like you're planning mostly road riding and only some trails. I agree with Evan's assessment that the Sam is a little more spritely due to the shorter wheelbase and slightly lighter tubing (I think). I've got a 56 canti-Sam (in the older,

My PBH is somewhere around 79-80, and I would have guessed I needed a 46 Joe, too. Wrong! I rode a 51 (light blue) with dropbars, it was perfect, I bought it. I've since switched to Choco-Moose bars, also perfect. I'm not a big fan of the Sam orange, either; if you like the blue Joe get it now
