Configurations for carrying stuff vary with the stuff you're carrying and the manner of your terrain. My dad, for example, bikes to practice with his tuba. He uses a trailer.
Bear in mind that suspension doohickies limit load-carrying capacity; piling shit on top of can make 'em sit too low and defeat their entire purpose. And oh lordy, does carrying shit on one's back suck, especially if one needs to stand up for part of one's commute. Get a frame with freaking eyelets, ni, and install a rack.----- "Nature is such a fucking plagarist."
256 advises strongly against fancy suspension whatnots too. I think I agree with you -- the weight/inevitable breakage doesn't seem worth the small gain in riding comfort, particularly where I will mainly be on roads. It seems incredibly difficult to find a mountain bike without them, though -- at least locally.
This one lacks them, as well as having some eyeletish things. I'm not sure what to make of it, though. As mentioned above, it seems unusually cheap. It also has the disadvantage of being ugly as hell, although I guess this is a comparatively minor consideration.Think metahistorically, act locally. -- CheeseburgerBrown[ Parent ]

It's somewhere between 6'0" and 6'1". This is universally regarded with some suspicion, so you'll either have to take my word on the matter or wait until I make it to West Coastia.Think metahistorically, act locally. -- CheeseburgerBrown[ Parent ]
While I was utterly loaded for the duration of my stay in your presence, I do not recall you defending yourself from my accosting with a tape measure, thus rendering this data point invalid. If this is another of the many details from that weekend that "got lost to the haze", I sincerely apologise for this unwarranted slander.Think metahistorically, act locally. -- CheeseburgerBrown[ Parent ]
