Loving the ride. Have the handlebars way up where I couldn't get them on my Long Haul Trucker, and it's fantastic. My bottom will need to get reacquainted with the Brooks I'm riding, as I think my weight is just a bit differently distributed. Was a little nervous about the Jack Brown Greens, given that I'm on the bigger side, but loved the ride and they even handled some of the packed dirt/gravel roads near me without a fuss. Really loving the Acorn medium/large saddlebag. Fits what I like to bring with me for a leisurely afternoon on the bike (camera, snack food, extra water bottle, basic repair stuff, haven't tried rain jacket but there are D-rings and an extra set of leather straps - purchased separately - for afixing one). And the tapered design means I don't even know it's there; no bagman style support needed. Quick run to the local supermarket and LBS, was able to fit a bag of baby carrots, Sabra style hummus container, bag of trail mix, 32oz juice bottle, wallet (overstuffed), cell phone, keys, above mentioned repair stuff (tire levers & patch kit, multi tool, leatherman) and used the leather fasteners (not the extra straps) to carry a U-lock, pedal wrench, and mini frame pump. Someone smarter at packing could probably get a good deal more out of it. Someone stupider (or at least more reckless) too. Thanks again to Dick & Dick Denning at the Country Bike Shop for the great service and build!
