Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

As far as I understood, the fabric they are using is fairly advanced stuff.

You could easily go to saville row and blow £3k on a suit.

pink lining could be dangerous in some areas of town !

if that guy rode past me I'd chuck litter at him.

That is gorgeous. With a suit like that you kind of have to accessorize your bike with it. A mad-bling HHSB isn't going to cut it, you need hub gears and big sweeping bars.

Also, feeling the Dr. Martins. Might try going for a cycle in some later....

overpriced, flimsy piece of hipster crap, you can get a pakuma messenger bag and various other makes for the same price.

Dimensions
Width: 32.5cm/12.8 inches
Height: 24.5cm / 9.6 inches
Depth: 2.5cm / 1 inch

maybe that much

They look really cool and aren't astronomically expensive but they're not really that functional as a bag by the looks of it. If you've got £30 burning a hole in your pocket then get one (or you could hold out until the Smithfield Nocturne as they may have discounts there).

to me it just looks like it will get in the way while riding and swing around like a crazy monkey person.

i don't believe these will be any good on the bike unfortunately.

Get down the jumble on Saturday, at the last one there was someone with a load of vintage ones.

now we're talking :-)

i've got one, it's great.alot better than the older thin cotton ones.it's waterproof and lined so you things don't get wet.it's not that big but works well for me.
i've got all black as thats all they did when i got mine but i love the grey and pink.

They do, I use a (non rapha) musette to transport tools and such on my short journey to the track. Wouldn't use it for anything longer than a couple of miles, would be too irritating

it's basically a pillowcase on a length of string.

they do move around but only when going down hill really.

Bonk bags used to be common when I were a whippersnapper, tie a knot in the strap to shorten it and make it more stable.

i don't believe these will be any good on the bike unfortunately.

I have a dozen vintage bonk bags for sale that do work on the bike! Used mine for years with all sorts of stuff crammed into it.
Let me know if you want to have a look might even stick them on here for sale. Also got a rapha cotton bonk bag.

Winston used to keep his ration card and gasmask in his…

I've got one, love it! great for the summer and can fit a light jacket, tools etc and me lunch, perfect light and good quality. The price...... ay its rapha what do you expect!!!

Shorten the strap and stitch an anti sway strap on and it'll be fine.
I love using my Archie's 'Estelle' bag when i don't need to carry much....makes a nice change now and then to not have a big bag on your back.

and there I was thinking Rapha had branched out into the condom market.
