I would immediately choose the Pika except for the price. We'll see -- if I can get a discount from Stevie ---
Since the gofast would use such a bag only periodically (sorry, I like to keep the silhouette of that bike lean and clean) I would probably use the Pika on the Fargo (now rackless since shopping duties were transferred to the Ram) and save the Carradice Prima Maxi for the gofast. Question: the Fargo has very, very little clearance between saddle (even with the immensely long, 500mm (?) mm post) and the 29"-plus rear tire, so little that even a Carradice Junior drags. The Carradice clears nicely, but it's only 5 liters, which is more apt for the gofast anyway. Would you be kind enough to measure the maximum height of the Pika, first unexpanded, then expanded? I'd be grateful. On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 2:19 PM, Garth <garth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yep .... great to have choices !! > > FWIW .... my main criteria was no leg or butt rub and yet large.
