Excellent use of the Saddlesack!
Now I really need one.

I have been a long time lurker and my new years "Bike" resolution is
to finally contribute to this group!
On new years eve I made a run to my favorite Berkeley wine shop and
loaded up my Sackville Medium Saddlesack with a few bottles of
happiness. Here is a photo:

For much of the past year I had the Sam set up as a go fast. It was
fenderless with pari-motos. I love the tires. They got me through the
2010 California Death Ride without a flat. (They were also the widest
tires I saw that day...) The bike also handled really well. I have
never felt so confident descending before.
Now that I am no longer training for a big event I have converted the
bike back to a commuter. I try to ride a few days a week from my house
in El Cerrito to my office in Oakland. I re-mounted Schwalbe
Marathons and installed some VO Zepplin Fenders. I also mounted a
nitto rack in the rear. I use a small trunksack up front and a Medium
Saddlesack in the rear. I love the set up. (Although I must say – I am
not mechanically inclined and mounting those damm fenders took me at
least 7 or 8 hours and I am still not sure I did it right. Thank god
Hiroshi at Jitensha talked me out of the Honjos. Mounting them may
have killed me.)
Happy New Year to all!
