Yeah, I'm thinking something smallish would be enough for me. I was looking at the Cetma stuff today.. very nice.

I assume you can still run fenders AND the rack, even though it uses the rack holes, right?
Brad: Yeah, I really want to get out for a mtb ride, actually. I definitely have to get out for one soon. Did you use your winter mtb shoes? Or flat pedals and regular boots?
