I was out riding last weekend, and met someone on a small wheeled touring bike. Real nice setup with waterproof bags. Low on front. In hindsight, I wish I had gotten a photo.

It may have been a Rodriguez 6-pack.

No doubt the whole rig cost a fortune.

Even without the couplers, the weight distribution on the bike looked great, and if built right, it may well outperform similar bikes with a higher center of gravity.
