Useful and Effective, May 16, 2011
By Dylan S Meadows

Purchased one of these for my roadbike, as I wanted something to store my keys and phone, but not something that attaches below the saddle, so that I could still use a rear fender thing that attaches to the seat post (I live in Indiana, where the weather hates us all)
Sturdy yet flexible, I was able to get this fitting very snugly on my bikes frame. I have a 90 degree frame angle, and I can't say how well this would fit for women specific bikes or other exotic frames.
Only grief, but expected: This will cover up your 2nd water bottle cage mount on your frame (at least on a 56cm frame). Just keep that in mind if you are the type of person that needs more than 32oz of water per ride. I don't so I've managed fine without the extra cage.

One for the road, June 15, 2009

Originally purchased for my wife, I ended up putting this bag on my own Schwinn comfort bike. Her bike did not have the room for it inside the frame where it belongs, and my Schwinn, with it's curved frame, was almost a near miss as well. Although I had plenty of space to fit a shoulder bag on my frame, I did not want to return this as it is very practical. So I improvised and attached the lower velcro to the frame as it should be, but ended up attaching the top velco to my brake cable lines securely attached running the length of my center bar, instead of the center bar itself. Still a snug fit with minimum gap, I use this bag for wallet, keys, and other small items that stay within easy reach if I need them while still riding.
Overall, I am completely satisfied with this bag. It's rigid spines and easy top zipper pouch, along with the quality construction, make this one a real winner~
Again this item is intended for a 90 degree corner of a bike frame, but will work in a slightly curved frame (Like my Schwinn 26") if you are willing to compromise attachment points. You will not be disappointed in this bag!

Did not fit my bike, November 20, 2011
By richard travis gibbs (pasadena, tx United States)

I ended up giving this bag to a friend as it did not fit my bike. I have a medium frame Canondale Trail SL 5. The angle on the bag was not close at all to the angle in the frame of my bike. If I placed the top side against the top rail, the bottom of the vertical side woudl end up about two to three inches away from the downtube. Also, I have a water bottle on my bike and this bag wuold have interfered with the waterbottle. If you have a larger frame bike this bag may work well however if you have a smaller frame bike I do not recommend getting this bag.
With all of that said, I had no issues with the quality of the bag and think it would hold up nicely to normal bicycling use.

Check your frame angle before you buy, September 15, 2011
By Jim

I purchased this for my Raleigh SC40 which appeared to have a 90 degree frame angle. Also, since this is an Avenier product I assumed it would fit because Raleigh makes the Avenier brand.....WRONG - the angle was too wide. Fortunately I have a Trek hybrid which fits perfectly and will make a good lock carrier. There is a plastic half tube which runs the interior of the angle section for support and a flat rectangular sheath which does not fully attach to the lenngth of the bag on the exterior. I wouldn't carry an iPhone is this, but definitely tubes, tools, locks, etc. If you are wanting to get away from saddle bags you might take a look at Topeak's website - very good pictures and description of thier excellent products. Then come back to Amazon for the best prices.

Great Bag, August 21, 2011
By Ron

This bag is a great bag for carrying my keys and extra energy bars. It has a small inside pocket that I can easily access the keys to the car from. It did force me to remove one of my bottle cages but I carry a 100 oz. Camelbak so I don't miss my bottle cage at all.

Great bag, August 8, 2011
By mike892 (california)

I've had this bag for years and really like it. It holds tools, keys, phone and a wallet securely.
I love that it doesn't hang down from the seat, so my tail light is still very visible.
The only negative is that it prevents you from having a second water bottle cage.

Muy pequeño, July 9, 2011

Supongo que son 52 cc. 52 es un numero que parece grande, pero los angulos del "bag" desperdician mucho espacio y practicamente solo puedes meter dentro un cellphone y con suerte tambien una billetera.

It's black, it's cheap, it works., April 27, 2012

For a standard bike frame with a 90º angle, it fits great. Big enough to hold my keys, garage door opener, cell, and wallet. It's black so it matches everything too. Logo is reflective.

Not 90 degrees, April 11, 2012
By J. Dunn
|
|
Maybe I got a defective one, but the bag I received was not 90 degrees. The rigid plastic insert was actually about 85 degrees, which meant that if I attached the bag to the top crossbar, the bottom of the bag was almost an inch from the seat tube. I tried trimming down the plastic insert, but the material of the bag doesn't have any give so it still didn't fit. Returned it for a refund and bought an Avenir Bigmouth Velcro Seat Bag instead.
