I refuse to start a new Brompton thread on this forum so I am adding to this one. Here's the Riv content... I saw Grant's post on the Blug about things being a little slow at Riv and thought, what could I purchase to help out? I have neither the cash nor the need for a new bike (although the desire is always there). Then it hit me... could the Sackville Multisack be the perfect pannier for a Brompton? I've been commuting with the Brompton all semester now and the Touring Bag (T-Bag) fills up fast once the computer's in there with accessories and carrying bag for taking it on the bus at night (no room for lunch and u-lock). I had to mount it as far back as possible to reduce heel strike and the top does hit the ground lightly when folded but it seems like it is going to work out well. It was nice to help Riv out at least a little and, as always, Riv helped me out in return. Is the Multisack the perfect Brompton pannier? Here are pictures for your consideration.
