3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable price but not for every bike, June 1, 2009

This review is from: Avenir Mini Metro Handlebar Bag (91.5 Cubic Inches) (Sports)

This bike bag is reasonably priced and provides adequate storage for wallet, keys, and a few other items. The reason I am disappointed is because it does not fit my bike (my bike is a Trek Lime). There is a back strap that is supposed to go behind the handlebars but the strap is so loose and cannot be tightened much so it just sags and provides no support. Also, the straps did not securely fit the curvature of my bike handles that when I cinched it to the handlebars it drooped down almost to the front tire.

Therefore, I tried to use this bag by cinching it to the rail above the pedals. The fit was awkward and once I filled the pack with a cell phone and keys, it expanded and hit my legs when riding. I decided to give this to my boyfriend--he loves it because it fits his bike fine.

Although this is a decent pack for a good price, the manufacturer needs to improve on the back strap so that it can be adjustable by more than a few inches. Also,buyers need to be aware that they may not be able to cinch this pack to their handlebars because of where the velcro straps are in relationship to the curvature of the handlebar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, May 10, 2009

This review is from: Avenir Mini Metro Handlebar Bag (91.5 Cubic Inches) (Sports)

I was worried at first about getting a bag that I couldn't size or evaluate in person for several reasons. One is I have limited bar space for attachments due to the fenix flashlight and its attachment, the schwinn cyclocomputer, and the planet bike blinkie 5. I was also worried that the bag might ride up too high and obstruct my flashlights, or it would hang too low and cover the reflector. Lastly, I didn't want it too big or too small, which is everyone's concern with buying a handlebar bag. I can happily say this bag met all my expectations. It has 2 adjustable velcro straps on top that could be adjusted so the bag sits even or slightly higher than the bar, or slightly lower. It has a rear velcro strap to keep it from flapping around which can be attached around the stem or cables. It has quality 3M scotchlite reflector stripping on front even if it covers your reflector. The size is perfect for me, big enough to carry keys some snacks, cell phone, mp3 player plus speaker attachment, and more. it has a see through top that you can place a map or something in too. I'd say it measures 7 inches wide by 3 inches deep, just estimating. Shoulder strap is a nice touch. the bag can be quickly removed because the lower rear velcro strap has a quick D-link release clip. In all, this is a nice bag and I have attached photos so you can evaluate it. I feel this bag should get more attention, and I'm glad to have gotten it over the saddle/handlebar bag combos.

Fits perfectly on handle bars.
I didn't want something bulky
and moving all around. This is
the perfect size for keys, cell
phone, lip balm, sun glasses,
gum, head band and tissues (all
of which I have in the bag I
purchased!) Plus there is room
for more stuff! GREAT bag, nice
looking too!
