This is the medium size, they also have a smaller one at REI.

I Like the Topeak Pro Pack in small. Apparently its more water proof than most bags but not quite as water proof as those crazy rubber MTB ones. I like the clean and simple look. I bought it at REI but you can get it online cheaper with a google search.

Although that actually works out for my setup -- I've got my Dinotte taillight battery pack nestled up in the seat rails. And, because the ICS bag also doesn't take up any seatpost space, I've got plenty of room for the taillight mount.

As I saw written here once: I bring what I need (a banana, gel, cell phone and ID in pockets) and the bike brings what it needs.

That's a good way to put it. I've got my bike stuff on my bike(s) already, but never was witty/zen enough to come up with a saying like that. ;) This way, I know that I've got all the repair gear I need and don't risk forgetting anything, no matter what I'm wearing.

I've been using a Topeak large wedge bag for years without the clamp ever failing. Now, with a second road bike (an SS), I just bought another seat rail clamp and can switch the bag from one bike to another easily. I have medical needs that require more gear then most other cyclists.

+1 on the Timbuk 2. Nice size (I use a small) and fits: tube, small multi tool, levers, cash/license, and even my ridiculously large SAAB electronic key.

I wanted to make the Topeak fit as I liked the one with the side zip pocket to keep a tool seperate, but I couldn't get the clip thing to fit on my seat rails..NagoPas saddle..as the angle of the back of the rails going up to the seat is steep and short.

I got the version that velcros ont he seat rails instead of the clips because I prefer the velcro as those clips always break. My only complaint is that the strap that goes around the seatpost is huge. Its made for like a 1.5" - 2" seatpost and is loose on my seatpost but it hasnt caused any problems.

Same bag here. The seatpost strap kept catching my shorts, so I cut it completely off + now the bag unclips easily for repairs. Has stayed secure over plenty of hard hits. Terry Fly Tri saddle, btw. Cool thing about that bag is the 'double taper' profile - no interference with my massive guads.

By the way, the African grey parrot head on the back of my bag didn't come that way - I added it. :D

Well I finally received my Krieg bag today and I have to say it is a really nicely made seat bag, not too big either. Question though, did you ask them not to put the Krieg 'K' on the door of your bag? Mine has the big K on it and I was planning on getting my initials put there. O-well, it's still a really nice bag.
