I have one of the original Nigel Smythe Lil Loafers that I frequently use on my Rivendell Road Standard (photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37964304@N05/5432058115/in/set-72157625889961383/). I agree that the Lil Loafer is very useful and elegant. I also have a Gilles Berthoud GB2886 handlebar bag, but for day rides of moderate duration and length, the Lil Loafer suffices very well!
