S Bag / Brompton front bags in general

I've bitten the bullet and got an S bag.

I may be offline for a while while the bruises heal when Mrs SBIB finds out :-)

buy cheap buy twice.

eh?

Tell the lovely Mrs SBIB it is only expensive because it is quality, quality costs and if you'd gone cheap you'd ultimately have to do two transactions.

Mine buys it.

Sometimes.

On a good day.

It's the same price as a posh handbag. And you can get lots more in!

I've one posh handbag & one Brompton bag. Guess which one gets used most!!

How posh is the posh handbag?

Hermes Kelly posh or, say, Lulu Guinness posh?

What a brilliant invention and why didn't I get one earlier?
A) it's a joy to fit and the whole block thing seems well designed.
B) I really like that the bag doesn't move as you turn the front bars / wheel and you can still fold and unfold the bike with it attached if you are that way inclined
C) even with a heavy load the handling is still fine
D) my shoulder is thanking me for getting one for Christmas, rather than the messenger bag I was using.

Why has it taken me 9 years to get one?

Hiving ridden & train travelled with mine this week. Completely agree with all of this. It is annoyingly good. The #bromptonw**ker in me strikes again.

Just got a T bag at the weekend. Love it to bits and the thing is 'huge'. I see that it will get lots of use both on and off the Brom
