The #05001 Small Canvas and Leather Saddlebag has been getting some love on the interwebs. Russ Roca over at the Epicurean Cyclist and BikeCommuters.com put together this slick little video showing just how much stuff you can cram into this so-called small seat bag.

The tale of the tape:

2 tire levers
1 multi-http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.giftool
1 patch kit
1 Sigg Aluminum case (lunch)
2 tubes in boxes
1 wool bike polo jersey from Earth Wind Rider
1 Topeak mini-pump

Pretty impressive.

Actually, last night I laced up the #05002 Medium Saddle Bag on our 1955 Rollfast Tandem. I can’t decide between a rack or dual wire baskets on that rig, so at the moment, on-board storage is limited to a couple of small Banjo Brothers handle bar bags. Well, let me tell you the 05002 is a beast! Two jackets, U-Lock plus cable, Tool Kit, Wallet, Cell Phone, Keys,  with room to spare.
