I have a French Company 35 (same size as non-French Company) and I love it.
I used a canvas strap from a piece of luggage so that I could have it as a messenger-type bag when I traveled and it held so much. And I use it (sans strap) pretty darn often, I do try to rotate my bags (currently I'm toting a BV Cervo hobo around). I do love big bags but I don't consider the Speedy big (LOL).
I'm 5'6".
