I have a small Carradice saddlebag where I keep the lock, as well as gloves, map, tube and tools.
I agree! I have a vintagey vibe for Lola. I was leaning toward a pink vibe, but have kinda fallen in love with the vintage stuff, such as my copper Crane bell, my Swiss military pannier, wooden cargo cradle, Reelight SL 770's. But, my more modern attributes to Lola are my Monkey Light M210's and my Nutcase pink cheetah helmet.

I would love to get some Brooks stuff, but I am way too afraid that those types of things would get stolen. But, then again, anything can be taken if someone tries hard enough!
