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

I love my Nitto bottle cages, I highly recommend them.
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.![]()

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.Originally Posted by Bikingmomof3

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.Originally Posted by DeniseGoldberg
