Hi the sci guy, the bike is a
MEC Provincial Road 222. Sweet little bike for $2000 Canadian dollars.

And the velcro strap was way too short in the sense that it basically had to be flat with almost nothing in it in order to have the velcro actually catch. Yours looks taller from top to bottom, i swear mine is like an inch. Just curious of it's measurements and what you fit into it. And I wonder if I got a bum one (ordered 3rd party on Amazon).
The Arundel bags are nice and keep things looking tidy. That being said, the Unos don't fit more than an inner tube(700cx25 max.), a tire lever and a very svelte multi-tool. The one attached to my bike has a 700x35-38 shoehorned into it along with a topeak multi-tool and the strap is just long enough to wrap around the bag. Very tight. I recommend the Arundel Duo if you plan to pack more than a tube, tire lever, tool and one CO2. I use one on my 29er. See below.
And on that note I will submit a second bike into the commuter hot or not. Yes, I commute on this one too.
