And now, for a dissenting opinion: I just recieved my Brand V handlebar bag, matched to a Brand V Keven's Bag this past week. I happily mounted them on a steel bike (Pereira) with Jack Browns and spent the weekend grinding away on the Mayacama hills by and between Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Trinity Road, Mt. Veeder, Oakville Grade, et cetera. Man, I love that bag! I didn't have any trouble operating the zipper or looking inside, grabbing sunglasses, food (especially during the bonk on the last climb, Oakville Grade), vest, and a couple extra layers of wool. It was a pretty cold day, the bag is perfect for stashing extra layers of clothes.
When summer comes around I'll probably stash an extra water bottle in there for the long, dry rides. Anyway, good blog, thanks for raising the review, ymmv, as they say.
