Saddle bag advice!

[odessouky]

I have a SCOTT CR1 road bike, and I am hoping to get advice on a nice saddle bag and a mini pump.
I am hoping to find one with a matching Colorado scheme; Yellow/White and to be small but still practical enough to carry my phone, wallet, an extra tube, patches etc.
Every where I look, they are either tiny and unusable, or MASSIVE and brush against the inner aspect of my thighs?
Any thoughts?

Have you considered a tool canister that fit into a bottle cage ?

What is that?
Never heard of it?

Thought I'd post a pic of the bike to show the colour scheme:

Something like this..

What about one of those little packs that attach to the seat post? I have a specialized one that will easily take all the stuff you specify

Wouldn't every thing just rattle in there?

Ortleib saddlebag is my current favourite - waterproof and QD. Mine holds tools, inner tube, lock, small waterproof jacket and food. Only comes in black though.

I get in 2 tubes, levers, pump, multi-tool, chain quick link & keys.
This is the pump I fit in the bag :-

Not if you pack it properly .
The spare tube would prevent rattles.

Are you serious?
Will that fit on a road bike?
