Looks great Top-to-bottom zipper Can fit quite a bit inside Cons
Actual Dimensions:1 & 5/8" width base/bottom that rests on your bar2 & 3/4" overall width when moderately full8 & 1/4" long of inside of bag not counting side wings that extend out2 & 1/8" side wings that extend out front2 & 3/4" height at highest pointPros:Looks greatTop-to-bottom zipperCan fit quite a bit insideCons:Not very stable or secureWould prefer two very slim top bar straps at extreme front and extreme backNeutral:The actual product does not match the picture. Look how in the picture the top bar strap is way far back for a sleeker design. I'd prefer that then the one it actually has which is 3-4 inches further up thus blocking my bike's "Roubaix" logo more/worse. Also, the stitching in the gray section where flaps start is black whereas they use gray stitching to match the gray part of the flap for a sleeker design. Also, and again making the actual product less sleek appearing, the flaps themselves extend out a lot farther. If I try to do that with these longer flaps the bag is loads less secure and will cause more rubbing issues. I wish the flaps extended less as seen in the product's display picture.One more difference is the ® symbol in the "U" of the actual bag that isn't present in the product's image here on Amazon. Not a huge deal, but I'd rather it not be there. This concern is much more minor compared to the others pointed out but I did feel it necessary to show.Final Notes:This isn't a 'difference' in actual product versus the shown product but I'd like it if the gray section in this black version of the bag was white. The other version has too much white so I like the black color in this one but would have liked it white. Not docking them for this though as they clearly show it in gray and I knew it was in gray. Still looks good on my bike overall but could have been much sleeker and 'sexier' looking on my bike if the actual product was the one shown in the picture.I also am considering buying the non-XT or smaller version of this bag. This one is much roomier than I thought it'd be and if it would fit my phone that'd be awesome but it doesn't since my phone is huge (3.5" wide by 6.5" long; a Nexus 6). If you have an iPhone it would fit in there fine though you wouldn't be able to zip it up and it would make the sides bungle a little. For me I would accept that because it would be better than keeping it in my back jersey pocket which I've always done, but it won't fit. I didn't buy this bag for that purpose but I figured I'd try it. No worries. But when I say it's roomy I mean it. You could easily fit a spare tube, a multitool,

This storage bag is great. The main tube Velcro strap is adjustable so slide it down to end of bag, or up. What ever you want, but it's adjustable!!!!!! The stem Velcro strap is limited when wrapped in place but it holds well. If needed sew it in place and it won't budge. This bag is awesome!!!!! I ride for some time and the zipper is smooth and you can get what you want right away. 2-3 goo's , 2 co2 cartridges and adaptor, a power bar. Possibly a few more stuff and it looks good on the bike. Trust me. It's convenient. Make sure you have a saddle bag under your seat for more stuff. Like spare tube, multi tool, glueless patches and tire bar. The not so good reviews on this product are wrong. This is a cool storage bag and looks good. I'm trying to decrease my load on bike and me, (such as camel back water bag) which I love, but if I could lighten the load and still survive on the trail , it is cool. I now carry 2 water bottles both are 840cc and I am good. Unless you do the epic ride and you will need the camel back hydration bag. The bottom line is this storage bag helped me feel more secure on the trail. BUY IT. You won't be disappointed

Prefect except for the straps.
The good: Attractive, fits a scaled down repair kit (tube, co2-inflator, multi bike tool, patch kit, tire lever), and looks like part of the bike. I keep mine at the seat post instead of the front of the top bar.The bad: Velcro should loop back but instead (in both straps) just folds over. Makes it very hard to get snug, and even as good as I've managed, the pack slides over eventually - so it's slightly askew. Just makes the bag look sloppy and in my case scuffs up the tube it's attached to (carbon).Maybe it's just made for fuel only - so I'm asking too much weight wise - but this is obviously marketed towards the more aggressive crowd who don't like to adjust shifting items ever. Probably safe from any shifting with just snacks inside.Would be 5 stars if it had loop back, synching straps like 99% of other bike bags, unfortunately most top tube bags have the same problem.This is a good option if you're competing in the bargain top tube bag market - better looking, sleek and unobtrusive - but would be a premium product with better straps.That said, ridden with it for 1,000 miles in the last month, and it works for me great as long as I shift it a few mm every 20 miles or so.

I really like the pack the size is good and useful
I'm posting this to clear up some issues others have stated in their reviews. Firstly the strap that goes around the frame is adjustable for and aft. Just grab the plastic "clincher" as close as possible to the pouch and slide into position wherever you want. The headset side I believe needs no explanation. Now as far as the bag sliding from side to side theirs 3m double sided adhesive tape or Velcro tabs with said 3m tape. A little common sense goes along way. I really like the pack the size is good and useful. Zipper is high quality too, or at least has a good feel to it. Hope this helps folks with their choice. Cheers!

No complaints, as advertised
While some of the other comments are warranted and it would have been nice to have non-slip ribs on the bottom of the bag, I have found trimming the velcro and adjusting it appropriately have solved the issue of sliding around. I can fit cell, key fob, and cards with plenty of room to spare, so size is perfect if that is how you use it. I have no complaints on the construction, as the zipper and pull are sturdy when over-stuffing the bag. Mine has kept its shape, but I am in a more humid climate where it molds easily.

Roomy, good for gels, keys, money, snacks.
I like it, but it is larger than it appears in the photos. Luckily, another reviewer mentioned that the strap on the bottom can be shoved back (with some effort) so it can be velcro'd on security. Otherwise, since it is longer that I thought, the end closest to the rider would flop around. In this photo, it shows the strap on the every end, but it does not come this way. It arrives with the strap closer to the other end, but it can be moved to fit your bike bar.

ライト用のバッテリーの収納とサドルバッグの補助として購入
使っている自転車ライトがライト本体とバッテリーが別付けタイプなので、フレームバッグを探していてこの商品を購入。0.4Lの用量の割りに バッテリー、予備チューブ、タイヤレバーと以外に入ります。そしてこの商品の一番いいとおもったのは、ロードに取り付けて自転車の外観を損ねず違和感がないことです。値段を気にしなければおすすめです。
