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 clearance between saddle and wheel or rack to use all of it. I'm a short guy and this was a limiter for me. Two Backabikes hold more than one Large Saddlesack, and the full capacity is always accessible. Backabikes and Front Roller Classics (roll top) hold about the same. Backabikes are pretty and the straps hold your bags to the rack nicely, buy pulling off for shopping becomes enough of a hassle that you just quit doing it. Ortleibs are much easier to work with. In my opinion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
