    I like it, and I like the color. I like the botttle cages too. Very classic look (no pun intended) going.

    I like it. I use this Carradice bag on my mixte, because the Banana bag was out of stock. My bag is even bigger, but I've decided I like it. It's our picnic bag and I don't really use it for anything else, but bicycle picnics have become one of my favorite spring/fall activities. I can fit a tablecloth, cups and plates, a bottle of wine or juice, and a full lunch for two in there, and still have room for a pump and tool kit and a camera.

    My husband thought the bag was ridiculous at first, until our first picnic when I pulled out a bottle of wine and lunch for two, including unsquished bread.

    I really like the bag. It is a larger bag, but I am guessing you carry a lot with you? I have been wanting to get one for my husband. I love the look of the bag. IMO it is one of the nicest lookig bags I have seen. My theory-for what it is worth, big bag=smaller bum.

    Okay, I am newish and I need to know-why are these cages better? I am currently using the black ones that came with my Trek but yours look sweet. Where did you get them and why these over the others. Inquiring minds need to know.

    They may look sweet, but they are very pricey - $40 at Rivendell, and $45 at Peter White Cycles. (Then again, maybe Snap has a better source for them than I found with a simple web search looking for nitto bottle cages.) Compare that with more standard (and yes, probably heavier) bottle cages ranging from $5 to $15, and choose where you want to spend your cycling dollars.

    They are sweet looking, but at this price, I will need to add them to my wish list. Sadly, school supplies for the boys must come first-sometimes I hate being responsible. Thank you fopr the information on them.
