Funny, what I really want is the Carradice bike bureau. Looks really good for bringing into work meetings. It seemed a bit small, which is why I thought getting the 2 Novaras for a little less would be prudent. The review makes it seem like it holds more than my impression from Carradice's web site. I'm still thinking I'll end up needing 2 for when the weather gets really bad, and I'd like to distribute the weight more evenly on my bike. I can afford the 2 Novaras right now, but i will be a while before I can afford 2 Carradices, and then there's my saddle dilemma. Man, the first year of bicycle commuting can be spendy. Decisions, decisions.
Now as to fastenings, both Novara (this year's at least) and Carradice use the Klick-Fix system, so I wasn't thinking there was a difference there. Am I off the mark?
