So I have been waxing and waning over whether to get the Bagman for my
Carradice Pendle. I just don think it is a good choice due to the
fact I want to just be able to mount it and not worry about it coming
loose and the fact that I dont want anything mounted to my saddle. I
was trying to decide
Hey all, love my carradice products but a combination of a sprung
saddle (B67) and setback seatpost makes it sit where the pockets can
have stuff jump out of them occasionaly. The bag is almost horizontal
instead of sitting straight up. I was wondering if anyone has used
the carradice bagman with

until I wait for the HC bike I am going to pick up the 60cm Polyvalent
to move over my 650b stuff so the Bombadil is officially for sale but
for good reasons
So my wife who is tall (and pretty) wants a pretty bike and says the
MB2 is too mannish to be cruising around the hip(?) streets of
Brooklyn. She of course likes 650b since it is suddenly cool so I
tried to sell her on a Sam but she liked the looks of the Bleriot so
thought I would cast a net out
So I have been riding the bombadil more this week and it is an awesome
ride but it still just feels a bit tight on the top tube. I have short
legs and a long torso so it is hard for me to find a bike with good
lenght on the top tube without having zero standover. I was looking
at the VO site
Ok, so finally got out for a ride last night and towards the end some
guys came by on thier color matched fixies and commented that my bike
was lit up like a xmas tree which did make me laugh since they were
the ones riding around at 11pm with no lights and no reflectors, so
who should be laughing
So it has come to this. My wife has worn me down and has a last in
first out policy so the Bombadil I acquired a few months ago has to
find a new home. Truth be told it does not get enough riding to
justify such a beautiful bike and it is time to get my daughter a
bedroom set and pay school
