Acorn Redux…

I really love my Acorn Medium bag. I purchased it earlier this year for my Quickbeam and it’s been on it ever since holding tools for the most part, but also a variety of other small items as the need arises:

Because it’s made so darn well I’ve been looking for an excuse to get something else from Acorn. Today I got my chance. My new old Raleigh on the Big Island needs more than the small saddlebag I’ve currently got. I’m not planning on shopping with the bike as I do with my QB, so it really only needs to be able to carry a few things as I make my way around Hilo. Since I don’t have a front rack (yet), I can’t really use the Acorn Boxy Rando Bag which I’d love to have. At $170 it’s a bit out of the range of what I’m willing to spend for something I can’t use though. You can see my Raleigh is just crying out for a new bag though…

Hence my purchase of the Acorn Handlebar Bag. It seems like a perfect match for the Raleigh and hopefully it’ll arrive in time to use when I go to Hilo soon. If not I’m headed back that way in November as well so it’ll see some use then.

So now I wait….
Aloha!
