I've been thinking about this. I didn't think of the protection to the drive, and it is a good point. Any idea where I can get some proper fenders? On the other hand, I'm not sure I have the right mounting points for proper fenders. I don't see any more holes to mount anything else to. By the way, I do like your Peugot and deeridiot's Raleigh. Both very classy.

Both good ideas! I found
a seat/handlebar bag at amazon that would use my Brooks' lugs that were designed for bags. Also, I found
this small frame bag at performancecycle.com that might work.
The seat bag would be mounted higher, but may still be too big when the tail bag is on. The frame bag may be too small. *sigh* that is the problem with shopping online. What do you think?
