Frame Bag issue with Reynolds Tubes
PH:

I sold the large version of the Alpkit bag and bought the medium (Oddly there isn't a small!) Despite the differences in dimensions seemingly minimal, there's quite a bit of difference when you see them side by side. Used it over the weekend on two Audax, it's just big enough for my camera (Compact, but not the smallest) and a small power pack to keep the Garmin charged. It isn't perfect, slightly brushes my thigh when out of the saddle and can get a little knocked askew when I have a foot down at a junction, but not by much. Of course it doesn't have the same easy on/off of a bar bag and isn't really as accessible on the move. On the whole I like it and will continue to use it for day rides, for touring I'll probably stick the bar bag on and look for an easy way of adding and removing the fitting.

Just seen it's gone up by £7 in the week since I bought it ???

I'm resurrecting an old thread but thought it pertinent to note that I've had good experience with this Altura bag https://www.amazon.co.uk/Altura-Unisexs-Vortex-Waterproof-Black/dp/B07HYG6Y5L on which the front velcro strap is high enough to stop it flopping to one side or the other. It's a waterproof material with a waterproof zip and my collection of cereal bars didn't get wet on the LEJOG.
I've also bought this small frame bag https://www.wiggle.co.uk/evoc-multiframe-pack-bag-medium?sku=103071669 which can be fitted in many positions inside the triangle. It's not yet been used but I've fitted it to check that it will fit underneath the bag noted above.
