Took the ol' decathlon cockpit set up on a BnB tour in darkest kent this weekend.

Had a 500ml water bottle in the bottle cage and my layers/ snax / sunnies in the handlebar bag. No complaints whatsoever though it's not like I ended up in a torrential downpour. For the price they seem pretty great if you're just a nodder like me who wants easy access to Colin The Caterpillars. I could fit:
A bag of CTC
Packed windshell
Nylon overshirt
Sunglasses case
For five pounds i think the water bottle holder is worth it just for the grippy velcro straps it comes with. I wish it had mesh pockets on the side but I'm just being greedy.
Also I put patches on the btwin logo so that I wouldn't get penalised for the non aesthetic brand.
