Check Bill Laine at Wallingford he has a 6 month money back

You can either get a seatbag or given the racks in the rear just get
a pack that attaches to the top of the rack.

I check it out. Tanks.
Although I just had to add to my buying list today. The tires blew out after about 5 miles today. Seems that they are dry rotted. The rear wheel is out of true and out of round. I'm heavy so a sturdy rear wheel is imperative. Now I have to decide between staying with the 27 inch or going to the 700 wheels.

I remember someone on this newsgroup talking about having wheels made for the 720. I gota find that post and ask him/her a few questions.


So a Brooks is on the list - it's just further down the list now.
