Commuter diaries - frame bags

100_2164.JPGWhat do you think about triangular frame bags? Never been sure myself about the aesthetic and the practicality? However I found this old one in the back of my garage; and it reminded me of the last time I used it, touring in the Alps. With full panniers it gave a useful and accessible option for valuables and tools. Not being a fan of handlebar bags it seemed like a good choice. I am definitely riding end to end or an Alpine tour ASAP and the frame bag is going with me, albeit if it makes me look a little old school.

Used to use one - useful for tools and other odds and ends. I know where mine is - gathering dust in he cellar. Maybe I should get it out.
