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. dougP On Sunday, March 19, 2017 at 8:22:02 PM UTC-7, Mobile Bill wrote: > > Seems like

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. On Sunday,

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! Chris -- You

You say "that limits me to the Small or the Medium Sackville," but that assumes that you're limiting yourself to Sackville bags. I use large and medium Saddlesacks with a rack, and don't think I'd like them without a rack to support them---I think they'd sag too much for my liking (but

The Medium Saddlesack is pretty much a perfect bag... I love it and found one for my wife as well. Based on trying to fit hers on a 52cm Clementine w/ the seatpost at its lowest point I will point out that you need a good ~10"+ to make the most use out of its size. Not a problem for most but

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. Regards, Richard On Sunday, March 19, 2017 at 8:47:32 AM UTC-4,

Tim +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

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. -- You received this
