I have one friend who asked stability or handling questions about my handlebar bags, but I've never noticed the slightest problem. It could be my personal history. I spent years as a teen delivering a large paper route by bike. I rode miles daily up driveways, hurrying around parked cars and other obstacles with at least four cubic feet of newspapers in a huge front basket, so I'm comfortable with a front load. In fact, on some solo tours, I've used no rear panniers, just a big handlebar bag and two front panniers. It is from muscle development of both muscles on each 'side' of your arms as you hold the steering steady whilst flinging/lobbing the paper. Most people think of pull ups in arm muscles but not push up. |

'to design a new bigger handlebar bag'? What design? It is just a rectangular box. OK it is made bigger. That is not designing. Every 3D Cad program can do that with one mouse click. You don't need a whole winter for that. Yes Frank I am making fun of handlebar bags. Lou Please tell me that no one is spending $358 on a handlebar bag. |

Or, perhaps he doesn't like to see paint scratches and replaces the bicycle before the scratch can weaken the CF frame. Whatever the buyer is doing, it must be working well for him to perpetuate it for 10 to 20 years. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

If we assume the person has a road racing, mountain, and cyclocross bike. And every year Trek or Specialized or Cannondale or Colnago or Pinarello or ??? make the newest, latest, greatest bike on earth, then the person could easily buy 1 to 3 new bikes per year. And if these companies only produce the latest and greatest every other year, then that is still 1.5 new bikes per year. Spending $20,000 per year on new bikes may not be out of the realm of possibility. |
