    Well, apart from the weight around 700g this looks pretty good to me.

    What do you think? Anyone going to back it?

    I’m loving the way a basket on the front of your bike has become fashionable again!

    Latest eBike accessory right here. Perfect for carrying the killer climb pie and pint.

    Fixing looks a bit like that ortleib bag that came out a while ago (but obvs a bit more versatile).

    Not unreasonable price either

    It actually looks pretty good. I found on my first bikepacking effort a month or so back, that the bar bag on my mountain bike felt like it was putting a lot of strain on the gear/brake cables.

    It’s pretty heavy, but looks like a good piece of kit.

    Quite like the look of that, but think it would suffer from the same fundamental problem that bracketless bar bags/harnesses suffer from when used with a mountain bike, which is that the hoses and cables get squashed behind the luggage.

    Notice that manufactures pictures of bar bags in use are 90% of the time photographed on gravel bikes which don’t have this problem because of the cables wrapped under the bar tape.

    Like the look of that, I’ve backed it.
