[RBW] Re: Looking For Nigel Smythe Big Box
Actually I don't want to drop another 200 bucks, but if it's deep enough to hand from the seat and reach the rear rack then so be it. If I used a support of some sort the Saddlesack would work and have thought that when touring I could use short rear bag between the panniers and then that would support the saddle bag.

Re: [RBW] Re: Looking For Nigel Smythe Big Box - What Goes In A Medium Sacville SaddleSack
Mike, For your trip to Gifford Pinchot what did you have in the SaddleSack? -JimD On Jan 29, 2011, at 7:28 AM Jan 29, 2011, Mike wrote: Here are two pictures of a medium Sacville SaddleSack on my Hilsen.

[RBW] Re: Looking For Nigel Smythe Big Box
Hey Kelly, I think the Sackville SaddleSack in large might work fine for you with a rack. The medium might work. You might want to consider one of them. While it's a pain, you could always order one from Riv and if it's not right for you just send it back. You might also try contacting Riv to see if they have one of the NS bags there. Here are two pictures of a medium Sacville SaddleSack on my Hilsen. In the first picture I'm not using a rack. It worked fine. In the second picture it is supported by a Nitto Top Rack which seems to slide in almost perfectly under the bag. I used the bag this week with the rack and ziptied the bag to the rack and it was great, no sway, solid and a nice looking bag. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/4945981066/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/4982443897/ The NS bag does look nice on your Hilsen. I was gonna suggest a Carradice bag but on second thought, I'd say go with a Sackville. The Carradice bags are really nice and certainly cheaper, especially if ordered direct from the UK, but the Sackville bags are great. I have to admit, bagaholic that I am, I'd probably scoop up a large Sackville SaddleSack if it wasn't so expensive. Perhaps I'll have to sell off some of my Carradice bags and supports to fund it... --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
