Any recomendations for decent gas-tank style frame bags?

I know Revelate probably make the best, but I could do with finding one in the UK as I'd like to use it in a week or so.

I know Topeak make a couple of styles, anyone any experience of them?

One thing that may be an issue is I don't have any headset spacers, my stem is slammed down, so I'm looking for quite a low-profile bag.

I've used a different version with a foldaway cover which worked fine.

cheers.
flatfish - yep, they're the ones I've seen so far.
woody - I've got a frame bag a bit like the black Widow, although that does look a bit better than mine. Trixies bag looks interesting.

the jandd stuff looks good. can you get it in the UK?

The trixes bag is utter crap, but might work ok for keeping snacks and gels in.

I have this problem and it makes the revelate bag a pain to use, think im going to have to modify mine somehow.

not totally, but resistant i'd say, that said stuff in it was dry after a 3 hr drive in the rain yesterday with it on the bike on the roof of the car
