After fiddling with Sugino on the bike a couple of times, I've come to the
conclusion it's quicker & easier to just pull it off and work on it on the
bench. That hidden bolt is more trouble than it's worth.

I'd go with medium over small. It is doubtful that you'll regret having
extra room. There will be occasions when you will need it. In addition the
extra room allows one not to worry too much about how the bag is loaded.
I'm a fan of the medium. I also have a large which is huge.

Seems like discussions about the new Silver cranks got lost in the q
factor, but after working to put my handsome Sugino back together this
weekend, I have got to take my greasy hat off to Grant and Co. for finally
fixing that nearly unfixable crank. No hidden bolts, no fiddly spacer

The Silver was the final run of Quickbeams. I remember because there was some
discussion about the Q on the seat tube decal being a little odd and maybe
slightly less refined than other Rivendell graphics. I think the silver was the
only color that had that specific decal.
I believe the Quickb
I'd definitely go Sackville medium. The Sackville bags are incredibly nice--
almost TOO nice if that's possible. Carradice makes some nice bags but no
comparison to the quality of Sackville. That's not a criticism of Carradice. I
have both and am happy with both.
Cheers!

Thanks All, I went out for a ride today where I do my best thinking. A
medium absolutely makes the most sense. Great feedback. I appreciate you
guys.

Bruce, many thanks for the feedback. As I suspected the Ram is a bit more
stout. There was a RivReader piece from years ago when Henry Kingman was
riding a Ram prototype set up for light touring. I believe he was going on
a week long tour. Full camping gear; beautifully packed!
Thanks again,

I'm sure it's gone but I'd buy the saddlesack just in case it hasn't sold.

Hi Bruce. Overlap among Riv models has been discussed lately so I'm curious
how much overlap there is between your Ram and the Road Std.? If I had to
guess I would say the Ram might have a little more carrying capacity. Many
thanks for the feedback.

The medium is such a nice size. You can easily strap more on top when you
fill up the inside. I first bought a large but it was too big for most of
my needs (also use baskets up front) so I swapped it out for the medium.

Richard

Yeah the medium is huge. Bigger than a caradice camper, as I recall. Great for
camping. In my experience, much more enjoyable with a rack or support
underneath it.

+1 on the Medium. Without a rack, the frame size limits the HEIGHT of the
saddle bag. You do not it to contact the rear wheel. Fenders are great to
prevent that.
Measure the height in the rear. I use 21" frames (53.3cm) with fenders and
a 70.5cm SH, and can fit a Schwiin Model 00-015
Thanks Max, good advice if a bit hard to take.
Well, thanks for the thoughts everyone. I think the bombadil will probably
end up for sale. Not sure beyond that at the moment. If I'm gonna sell any
of them on the list though, I'll create a new post with more info (prices,

I would recommend the medium as I never regret having more space to carry
things. I own a large, small, and extra small saddlesack. Here are photos of

I road my Road Standard yesterday for the first time this season. What a
wonderful bike. It rides comfortably at a casual pace but takes my hard efforts
well. Just when I think I don't need a pure road bike any longer, this bike

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get some thoughts on a new saddle

The Road is an excellent long distance ride. I rode mine on yesterday's local
RUSA event and it was great all day. Smooth on the rough stuff, climbs well,
handles great. If you think about what a new frame only with nice lugs and
paint will cost, Eric's bike is a steal.
