Re: [RBW] Re: WTB new Rivendell saddle or other saddle with proper bag loops

Eh, I don't think the loops on the Acorn Large Saddlebag will reach my rails. :( I have the old, 2016-era Rivendell stock saddle with the weird ovular loop on the back; it's not wide enough to use as loops for this bag (or maybe any bag) and it also blocks things. On Friday, December 15,

My wife and I each have a "Boxy Rando" bag from back in 2016, during the time when they used snaps and didn't put their logo patch on the bags. We love those bags, and it was time for me to get a bag for the back of my bike, instead of using my Ortlieb panniers. So I waited for the Large

Eh, I'm really thinking of going back to a drop bar of some sort - there's 1000 of them out there, and it seems ones with shallower drops and mid to high flare are going to make the drops usable. And I probably want something with a longer ramp for even more position variability.
