Gear Bag Suggestions
I am just getting started in road bikes but if have already taken a few road trips. I am using a sports duffle bag for helment, shoes, clothes, etc. I would like a cycling designed bag like the SRAM bag but it seems on the high side. Any suggestions on a more reasonably price bag?

Was eyeing the Capo Bags that popped up on bonktown a couple times. You can see them here:

Pricey for what they are, and don't think it'll accommodate the clothes. I'm still looking for a nice, compartmentalized duffle with a pretty rigid structure to keep all the stuff easily accessible and organized.

Great price and I can attest to their durability.

Wow. I'm offended by the prices on those Capo bags. WTF?! Is that for real?
GearScan.com has had a lot of different backpacks/bags on sale lately. I got a nice Marmot backpack that fits all my stuff (including helmet/shoes) for like $35 or so. Plus, it's a really nice backpack, so I can use it for other stuff (like carrying crap around during Mardi Gras). Way more versatile than just a duffle bag.
