Sandra and I both have the Acorn bags. He actually made them to order for us as we didn't want the side pockets. Anyway, he hasn't been selling much on ebay lately, but that's because he has a website now. www.acornbags.com .
hmmmm maybe i could a bag with snaps and FAKE buckles!!!

yes, on his website. He talks about the buckles.
I just read it...I don't buy it though...you can use metal snaps...:eek:Quote:

What about this carradice bag? snaps and zippers and even though it looks small on the site, I think it's almost as big as the Barley. The Barley measures 28X15X15 and the zipped roll is 28X14.5. A possibility? I had a Barley and it held a lot.
:o i have that one too.....Quote:

Those carradice/acorn saddle bags are not easy to get into and get off the bike. Even with the quick releases. I'm like you, I'm trying everything!
I was lucky enough to snag a second Baggins Little Joe bag (used). So now I'll have one for each of my two bikes. ONe is grey, and one is tan. Still need a second Bagman though. :(
Still only have 30 miles on my new Luna (what a CRIME). :( :( :( I injured my hip while roller skating 2 weeks ago and have been slowly recovering. I think within another week I will be able to bike again. I'm feeling much better the past few days.
yeah...but i bet it still has that new bike smell...:p
Yeah, every once in a while I go out to the garage and sniff at it. :cool:Quote:

That explains the avatar, Lisa!
Just reading this thread my head is all floaty. You know, like you just-smoked-a-really-good-joint floaty. :eek:
Why Sandra, I'm SHOCKED!!!! :eek: :cool:Quote:

I thought we were sniffing something.:cool:
Here, just have another whiff of this Phil Wood hub grease.... :cool:Quote:

Whaddaya know! I've got both the Phil's grease and the Proofhide! Gotta mix me up a batch of that sniffin' stuff...
(it's the cod liver oil in the Proofhide that really does the trick, y'know)
The other day I was changing wheels on my roller skates and I also changed out the bearings on the wheels. The smell of the bearings grease was exciting to me. :cool:
This takes me back. All the way back to college in the 70s.
Wow - my throat and chest are constricting with admiration and envy for this beautiful machine. Sigh.
Julibird....golly thanks! But hey you know what?- I've been having a bit of trouble getting the shifting to work just right- dropped my chain twice today! :rolleyes:
It is a lovely bike though, and I feel privileged to own it. Hope I can get my shifting act together soon. (kinda missing my trusty bar end shifters right now) ;)
What a beautiful bike! And dreamy . . and oddly enough creamy, like butter. ;) Might need to get those cables adjusted maybe?
Lisa,
there is a possibility that your chain / derailleur / etc is not QUITE adjusted correctly. Do not assume that YOU are the problem!
There is a possibility of the chain line not being quite right. Brian is looking into it. But he checked over the derailleurs this morning and found them ok. We are talking a huge gear range here, and that's a part of the trickiness to get it just right. Also I am sure there is still some "operator error" in terms of my shifting when there is too much pressure on the chain perhaps. Time will tell, we are working on it. Only a problem at one certain point.Quote:
