I use an Ortlieb front bag for touring on my Atlantis and like it very well, but for your purposes, I agree with Larry-- get a bag that is not supported just by the handlebars. When I put too much weight in my handlebar bag, handling of the bike degrades and I get a horrible downhill shimmy. This is no problem for me, since I only use the handlebar bag when I'm touring and have an entire suite of other Ortlieb bags to stash my extra stuff, but if I were trying to put food, rainclothes, sweater, fruit, sandwich, camera and maps in the Ortlieb, I would not be happy. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
