Best Front Rack Bag
So, I'm looking for a BIG front rack bag, something that will hold my lunch, my work clothes and all of my daily needs stuff like cell phone, wallet, Mp3 player, etc...
I like front bags that sit on the front rack not just hang from the handlebar. Also, cost is a factor. The Berthoud bags would be choice #1 if I was a millionaire, but those things are uber expensive. So, give me something more affordable. I've seen the Ostrich bags, as well, that Alex Wetmore reviewed and they look just ok, but there are some issues with them. Anyways, recommend away!

Check ebay under acorn bag there is a guy that frequents this forum that makes some really nice bags. He doesn't have anything listed right now but keep checking he usually does. I Don't know if his front mount is big enough for you but from his ad it sounds like he will custom make something for you.
