Review by HollyReviewed 9/18/2023by HollyCycling EnthusiastSteamboat Springs, COMy third purchase-love theseI have two bikes and always have these banjo bags on for my asthma inhaler, kleenex and phone. I don�t like having �gear� in my jersey pockets (makes me look fat!). These last years and then when the velcro isn�t as strong I order a new one. Inexpensive, work well, love them!

Review by Tom SReviewed 6/18/2021by Tom SCycling EnthusiastRedondo Beach1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.A very decent bag at a very decent priceThis thing is pure simplicity with no special features. I could do without the clear top, but it's not objectionable.
The straps are long and trim-to-fit. The top has a Velcro closure that seems OK so far.
My iPhone 7 and iTouch are a perfect fit (anything bigger than a standard iPhone 7 ain't gonna fit) along with a couple of Fig Newtons, the garage remote, ID, credit card, and some cash.
If you need more than that, get a different bag.

Review by AHReviewed 5/14/2020by AHCycling EnthusiastSan Diego2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Nice little bagI use this on a hybrid bike I use around town in San Diego. It holds a small wallet, cell phone, & keys easily. I wish it didn't have a clear cover. I know what's in there and don't need to see it. I often take a bandanna or tissue to cover my phone to protect it from the sun. I have also used this on my mt bike which has a wider frame, so the longer straps are good to have. They don't get in the way as other reviewers have suggested.

Review by jfReviewed 9/22/2021by jfCycling EnthusiastFloridaI use it, it worksI can fit my iPhone 6 , my money pouch and an energy bar. I use on both my bikes. It doesn't quite fit on my Pinarello. The front strap is not long enough to go around the top-tube completely but I use anyway .
The Headtube straps could be longer.

Review by GJReviewed 9/12/2015by GJCycling EnthusiastChicago IL2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Clear top cover stiffens and cracks after 4-5 years use, otherwise well made bag.We have one on each of our 4 bikes. Very useful and sturdy with minor exception of clear top. Banjo Bros should offer clear plastic or fabric as options. Straps are long as previous reviewer mentions, but scissors easily trim to your needed length. Mounts very securly, pads under bag protect frame from bucklestrap scratches, and we use the extra length to secure a frame mount pump under the top tube. Not suitable for large smartphones.

Review by go.dog.goReviewed 7/7/2018by go.dog.goCycling EnthusiastWAExcellentJust perfect for regular size I phone emergency reading glasses a lot more.
Very good attachment straps and lid. I shortened mine with scissors where they are extra long.
15 bucks is almost a give away. Far better product than last 40$ bento box that did not fit phone.

Review by RPEastmanReviewed 12/18/2017by RPEastmanCycling EnthusiastSouthern California Mountains2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Awkward install The idea works well EXCEPT ... the straps that wrap around the cross-bar are too long andor the velcro holder will not go through the strap guide - which means that the unit will not fit tight on some cross-bars. Further, the velcro strips that wrap around the steering post catch on themselves and make installation even more of a chore. I expect these issues are by design ... to make the unit capable of fitting all sorts of different bikes. But the result is that it makes intermittent (i.e. when needed) installation a pain - AND it requires some modification of the straps to be an effective snug-fitting tool. Purely my opinion

Review by Mike BReviewed 5/19/2017by Mike BCycling Enthusiast2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Nice little bagGot this on sale at BTD. Really nice little bag. Perfect for my camera, which is what I use it for. Padded all around. Didn't like the logo thingy on front, but it comes off easily. The only issue is that it isn't waterproof at all, so just keep that in mind. I keep a little zip lock bag for my camera on the bottom in case of a surprise rain storm.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/21/2014by Anonymous5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.This is not shower proof.It's an Ok product but I wouldn't put my cell phone in it if rain is expected. Better to seal items in a baggie then put it in the bag. If the top cover was bigger this wouldn't be a problem. The cover does not stop rain entering along the sides of the bag.

Review by ReederReviewed 8/2/2013by ReederCycling EnthusiastPortland3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Good bag but slightly largeI use only for very long rides. It holds a lot of stuff and fits well on top tube. I don't like a saddle mount bag and this is a great alternative but I wish it was slightly smaller.

Review by pat larsonReviewed 10/18/2012by pat larsonCycling EnthusiastSacramento, CA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.This is a good fit for cleat covers, i.d., and house keys.I don't have to stuff many things into the jersey pouches. It keeps the under saddle bag for tubes, levers, and inflator. The slim design hides the bag behind the headset and stem.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/27/2012by Anonymous4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Great box to hold foodI haven't used it in rainy weather yet so I cannot attest to its abilities at blocking out water. However, the straps that go around the top tube are very long and should work well with pretty much any sized tube. The velcro has worked great so far, I have no fears of the box falling off or shifting much during use. This is a great value and holds a good amount of food.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/27/2012by AnonymousCycling Enthusiast1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Smaller than what I thoughtUse it to carry cell phone and topeak alien tool kit & medications. Based on the measurements on the site, I thought it would be slightly larger than an existing one I have. Don't know how the manufacturer arrived at their measurements but it definitely is not as large as I thought it would be. That was disappointing. Overall am pleased, but because it's not as big as I expected, I'm downgrading it one star to 4 stars.
