|  | I have this saddle bag matched to a b-17 on both my road bikes. I love the look and feel of the real leather - the quality is A-1, top drawer. My reason for 4 star versus 5... the price. These are very expensive. If I hadn't made some money selling other bikes, I don't know that I could have justified the expense.
To others saying they are too small to carry necessary items... I travel light and they work great for that. My essentials:
- Patch kit (I'll limp home and get the new tube there) - hex wrenches 4,5,6 - 2 tire levers - small knife with phillips and standard screw drivers in it - a couple of zip ties - a small bit of electrical tape - a small cloth for dealing with greasy chains (lets be civilized) - Brooks saddle rain cover
All of this fits perfectly in a Challenge bag. All I've ever needed.

|  | As the previous reviewer mentioned, it looks really really cool.. The catch is, it doesnt hold anything at all.. I need a spare tube, a Topeak tool kit which is fairly tiny, a compact pump, patch kit, a pair of tire lever.. Absolute minimum in case of a flat. I cannot do without any of them. Now, i can only fit at the max three at a time. The rest should go in my carry bag..
If you are my kind of a guy, look for something else.. If you prefer looks over functionality this is the tool bag without a doubt..

|  | Brooks Challenge Bicycle Tool/Saddle Bag
I bought the tool bag to match my Brooks B-17 Special saddle. The combo looks smashing on my commuter bike. Only problem is that it doesn't hold much. I couldn't get a spare tube in with the tools and patch kit. Maybe the Brits don't get flats; who knows? Still, its beautiful and the leather is first quality.
