Right so I bought the £10 ‘Fuel tank’ type bag off ebay (see above^^^) Turned up this morning, pretty good seen as I didn’t press ‘Buy it now’ ‘till late afternoon yesterday. So that’s super quick delivery.
First impressions are pretty good, it’s bigger than the Scott one I’ve got and it actually attaches to the bike better. It’s nice material, not too heavy and looks well made.
The main internal pocket is a nice size with internal side ‘cargo nets’ the two side pockets are okay and would be great for gels and chocolate but not much more.
187 grams as it is.

Not too big and plenty of clearance for me knees

I should be able to modify it to what I want.
First I removed the naff branding.

Then I cut off the useless expanding mini pannier side pockets, these came off really easily and was just a case of unpicking the stitching which wasn’t integral to anything else.

Now I reckon at £10 that’s a bargain!
Oh and that might be a Wildcat bag that also arrived today 🙂 more to come on that later. 🙂
