They've sucked me in. Veronica and Jo, they're evil!

Is that a banana bag?

**tprevost** · 01-31-2006, 02:59 PM

That is SO cool! I'm sure there have been many discussions on this already but this is my first one! What kind of bag is that???

TOOOO cute!!

Yes'm. 'Tis.

A Rivendell Banana Bag. Biggest bag I could bring myself to put on a road bike.

It's a different shape than mine I think. You can get a lot into one of those. So when are you going up Diablo again? You can't use no coat as an excuse now.

I think we're going to do Hamilton this weekend.

Humf! I don't think I've ever used that as an excuse.

Saturday, if the rains stay away we're supposed to go play on the singletrack around Lake Folsom with Killer Bea. Her hubby just got a mtbike so we're looking for easy and fun. Need to do something more energetic on Sunday. Haven't even looked at the weather, but now I can haul choices of clothing. My winter jerseys don't have pockets; it's been a pain.

Regarding the shape, it is the same as the one in the Picture but my seatpost extends farther out of the seat tube so the bag hangs at a different angle. I'm going to have to replace the leather seat strap as it isn't long enough for the placement of the Avocet rails.

Must not look must not buy

**Trekhawk** · 01-31-2006, 04:07 PM

Wow that looks fab. What bike have you got it on?

**SadieKate** · 01-31-2006, 04:10 PM

I've got it on my 1981 Mercian so the waxed cotton and leather look just right.

Oh, snap! I believe one of these lexan babies and a nice silver and leather flask (hmm, wonder why I know about those?

) will fit.

Lee & I were originally going to join a ride on Saturday with some of the Riv bunch starting from Canada Rd. & Rt. 92 in Woodside (there'll be lots of banana bags in attendance I'll bet!), but we just found out that the husband of a friend of ours in our club died suddenly on Sunday (he'd been ill, but it was still unexpected) so we'll be going to his memorial instead

Sunday we'll either head out to Woodside or ride out to Alum Rock park.

Ugh. After meeting up with the bottomless Lemon Drop in San Diego - my liver needs a break.......

As my husband would say, this is when you bring in the stunt liver.
