I’ve been a cyclist for over 20 yrs now, and gone through a number of mostly seat bags over the years. Just recently I started doing gravel rides and I was looking for something not in handlebars or saddle, but something compact to put on the frame to fit my essentials, and a small pump; this bag did the trick. Although I also ride small frames, I’m okay with fitting a smaller water bottle on my down tube or none at all for shorter rides. I tried it on both front and back. The rubber straps are a must, as they help keeping it in place. The materials and quality are pretty good.
My initial impression is only positive as the bag is incredibly well made, looks good, and just the right size.
It’s just big enough to hold my phone, tpu, and repair kit. But not big enough to feel bulky or in the way while riding.
The bag appears larger in the pictures than in it is in hand. But that’s how compact it is. It’s like a waist pouch, but for your bike. I like the fact that it can hold the stuff I need; phone (17 pro), snacks, extra tools. I like way it looks on my black gravel bike with red markings; understated but effective. I will be getting those silicone straps. The Velcro might be a bit tricky. Overall, glad I invested in a good quality frame bag.
Perfect fit and color
Great quality
