I actually have a Riv Baggins Bag that I can hang on the B17...

Got out for about 14 miles today for a shakedown cruise... bike rides pretty nice, though I'm not sold on the Albatross bars... they just feel like they put my hands too far back for my liking, I found I kept putting my hands up toward the front...

I did like the Rene Herse Babyshoe Pass tires (42mm), they rode like a cloud at right around 50 psi, might try 55 psi as I think I could feel them bounce a lit when I would stand up to accelerate.

So I'm looking for a set of bar end shifters and TRP RRL SR levers as I already have a couple sets of bars and stems to use. That way I can get another set of cable and keep the Albatross bars intact for if I decide to back to them.

Anyway, here is a pic (hopefully) from the ride today
