I really want that chrome U-lock!

Those little pumps are OK. 60 PSI is more than rideable and you can easily get that with compact pumps. Sure, you may like to ride at 95-120 PSI, but I always thought the point of the mini pump was just to get the bike pumped enough to get you home or to somewhere with a nicer pump.

I carry my repair kit in my messenger bag, but I also kind of find the messenger bag a bit much for most rides, but I end up riding with it just because it has my repair kit in it.

I am not hipster enough for hip bags. I think they look pretty good on girlies but they kind of look awkward on guys I think. Fanny packs fell out of men's fashion for a reason.

I am not really a fan of the under seat bag, I like the aesthetics of bikes quite a bit, and seat bags usually look a little strange. There are some nice, classy lookin' ones out there, but they are rare and usually pricy, and also usually leather.

I really like the look of those triangle bags you put between the Top Tube and Seat Tube but the fundamental problem with having my repair kit attached to my bike is that you leave the necessary tools to steal parts of your bike (at least the front wheel, seat and post, stem, handlebars, brake, and chainring [more for some people]) on the bike itself.

So I guess I am stuck with a messenger bag myself.
