Joel, thats very close to the Riv Little Joe I mentioned. Its the smallest size I use and would hold all that you mentioned easily. Nice to hear you are back on the bike. Steve On Mon, Jul 27, 2020 at 7:47 PM Joel Stern wrote: > This bag looks great, how much bigger is it than a banana

This bag looks great, how much bigger is it than a banana bag/sack? I have the Kevin, now renamed at Riv, I think the smallest bag they offer and while it fits my essentials I would like to be able to carry a camera and also a light jacket when needed. How bit is this bag in reality?

I've been using the Swift Bandito for ~5 years now. Very happy with it. Holds my repair kit and Kryptonie Fahgettaboutit with some room to spare. The thing I like about the Swift Bandito vs the similar size Roadrunner bag is that on the bandito, the buckles for the straps go inside the bag,

I’ve been far down the saddle bag rabbit hole and have settled on the Acorn Medium Saddle Bag as the favorite for my needs. It has plenty of space with an expandable collar and drawstring, D rings for lashing a wet rain jacket or other items, exterior zipper pockets, and an internal dowel for

I really enjoy my Carradice Junior, I think the size is just right for a lock, sweatshirt and tube/tools. I give it big points for not being made out of dinosaurs, and I've found that ordering directly from Carradice the price is actually pretty reasonable. They subtract the VAT for orders to

For **workmanlike** value, capacity, materials, and workmanship, and 80 years of history, consider the Carradice Junior or the Carradice Cadet. Current Carradice cotton bags aren't as well made as those from 20-30 years ago (my ~1997 Nelson LF was *heavy* waxed canvas with duck lining, and it

My favorite is the Little Joe, the smallest of the three that were early Rivendell bags. I have one for $50 shipped, if interested I can send a picture. Steve On Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 11:05 AM Coal Bee Rye Anne < lionsrugbyalu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I can’t offer mine for sale since they are

I can’t offer mine for sale since they are frequently used but if you happen to come across any offers I’d highly recommend the OYB Saddlebag or 7-Way bag (as I think they were last called.). OYB = Out Your Backdoor by Jeff Potter - I don’t think he sells these any longer but I grabbed a couple

I suppose i would've bought a bananasax by now, but they are all sold out. So now im considering other things. I mostly need it to hold a normal sized u-lock, multi-tool and tire levers and an extra tube, but i'd appreciate something with capacity for a jacket or sandwich also. Bonus points if
