What is it with the saddle bag hate, never understood it. I get that a huge saddle bag is dorky and destroys the look of the bike†, but the smaller ones, like the Fi'Zi:k ones are still pretty slim, and you dont have to worry about stuffing jersey pockets, especially with dirty tools.


†Note: Large saddle bags do look good in 3 circumstances, however at least 2 of the 3 criteria MUST be met to qualify for the classically good looking saddlebag:
1) They are made of leather, canvas, or a combination
2) They are used for touring/randonneuring/bike-fishing/exploring/general camping purposes
3) They are in good taste, well matched to the theme of the bike (see this example: http://www.bicycles.net.au/archive/c...lebag_seat.jpg)
†† Canvas tool rolls do not count. They are classically cool items, aka the Cat's F***ing T*ts
