I have the hilsen outfitted kinda light. Just the mark's rack and the little baileyworks rack bag for it and a the brand-v keven's bag off the saddle. The keven's bag carries the toolkit, tubes, etc The front bag is personal items. The rom has a basket on the front and a tool roll under the seat. The basket normally doesn't carry much but my shoulder bag and a lock since I use the rom for a lot of errands recently. The lotus has a rear rack on it which I put in a grocery-bag pannier on one side. and nothing else. though I must admit I do end up dropping random things in there. When you have that open basket on the back it's easy to just drop a pkg in there on the way and not really think about it. The only bike which seems over-bagged to me sometimes is our tandem. The only problem is that, invariably, when I go out on the tandem with the stoker we end up picking up more stuff than we anticipated and the bags are full on the ride home. Most of the time they are full with things like beer or milk or books. But still, necessary items :) I do have lights on just about all of the bikes - so I've found the small mark's rack to be a great place as, if nothing else, a light mount :) what crosses the line to too much? -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
