It is designed for coupled bikes such as the Ritchey Breakaway. You should have no problem, however before ordering, we'd suggest you break down your bike and get some basic measurements to reference to the bags size. This bag is 26x26x10 in.

I assume a 45 cm Rodriguez SS coupled w/ 650 wheels will fit in the bag? Where is it made?

That bike will fit just fine. Our suppliers list the county of origin for this case as the US.

A GuestThis pack is durable and well built, but the plastic/resin panels are way too heavy and bulky to ever carry along on a tour. I simply replaced them with cardboard cut to a similar size (wheel boxes work well) and I plan to discard the cardboard panels after the flight over (4 month unsupported tour of Europe). I plan to use the pack without panels for those times when I will be carry my own luggage...such as trains and taxis. Still haven't worked out the return air leg, although I'll probably beg, borrow or steal another wheel box to sacrifice!

A GuestPacking a bike for traveling is never fun. Indeed, it is often a real pain. This case makes my life simpler when it comes to packing my S&S coupled touring bike. Like a previous reviewer, I do not use the plastic panels. Instead, I cut out cardboard to give the case some rigidity when I am traveling. The cardboard is tossed when I arrive; and, new cardboard is procured when I am ready to leave. With a knife, some cardboard, and a roll of duct tape I can pack the frame, wheels, racks, and fenders all into the case. Soft items and scraps of cardboard protect the bike parts from one another. On a related note, you will be much happier if you remove the chain and store it separately from everything else. Also, find a cheap plastic bowl to tape over the cassette.

A GuestI bought this because it was light weight (8lbs /-) and I can pack clothes and stuff with my Surly Travelers Check bike and keep everything under the legal 50lb limit. The side pockets with clothes packed in actually protects the bike. The downside is that after only two trips, the outside of the bag is showing a lot of wear and tear.
