Just came back from a visit to New England which included 5 days biking in Vermont on my new to me Sam. Beautiful part of the world this time of year. The hills were a bit much for this flatlander, especially self supported, but managed to have a really good time anyway. Jay On Aug 26, 11:44 pm,

Zack, You sure don't waste time getting going! Love the setup but man that rear bag looks huge! I'm interested in the food, did you actually make eggs for breakfast? Minh--who's dreaming of an S240 this weekend himself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Minh - I did indeed make eggs for breakfast. I think the bag looks right-sized - but I am 6'3 and 220 and riding a 64 cm Sam! I cracked the eggs and put them in a little nalgene bottle right before I left (eggs keep for a while. i wouldn't have done this if I was going to be in 100 degree

Zack, As I look forward to start doing my own S24Os and configure my setup, yours is certainly a great representation of the setup I'm considering with some variations. I already have the Platrack and Sickersack for my commute and really like it for the front. I also have a Carradice Long-flap

Again with the SaddleSack Large! You are killing me, man! :) It doesn't help that I used to have a tweed Mini-Bar bag too (yours looks like the Mini-Bar in the photo... is it actually a Keven's?)... but I confess I don't miss it as much as I do that SaddleSack Large. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean
