I think the Challenge bag is so lovely...and because my seat is kinda low, a small bag wouldn't rest on my rack...but how much can a gal carry in one?

I carry: keys/cell/multi-tool/gloves and of course a snack. Um...some grease, a small notebook and pencil. Camera...

I think I just outgrew it...:p

I'll stick with my Carradice round pack --ebay--

HEY! Are YOU the one that outbid me on the Carridice zipped roll?

well maybe. Mine isn't the tool roll, it's the round bag...

small world (but I wouldn't wanna have to clean it)

I checked the auction. Soutine won the bag I bid on. If that's your bag, how do you like it? I'm still considering getting it from Wallbike.

that would be me...sorry!

it's nice...really roomy. I think the waxed canvas ones from Duluth Pack are better looking, but I like the shape because my seat is low and whatever I hang on my saddle pretty much rests on the rack...

Ah, the beauty of ebay. :D I have the green Carradice Barley and I was wondering if you think this rolled bag would fit on the handlebars? The pic makes it seem fairly small, but then I measured it and it's really not, is it?

the bag itself seems fine for the handlebars...but the leather straps might need to be replaced...they're short.
