    Lovely looking bike! Didn't know Focus did carbon wheels.
    Do you keep a spare wheel in that suitcase under your seat ;-) ?

    Sorry. Unnecessary comment (it's massive though).

    Love it otherwise!

    That's a good looking machine and it's a win for me regarding the white spokes.

    Stealthy bike.

    It looks like you've got a bedpan concealed beneath the saddle mate.

    Maybe the bag is actually small and the size of bike is making it appear big. :P

    Why do people always feel the need to pass comment about saddle bags? We all use them if we have any common sense...

    Cracking looking bike.

    I have the same Altura Trail bag for my MTB. You should have shown a picture with the bottom zip undone in the expanded position!

    With that bag any sort of uphill and your going to be doing wheelies !

    Great looking bike, lets see new pics with upgrades and no bag please.
    Got a weight ?
    Re the old pics, white tape with a white saddle is the general rule, although I think a black saddle to match the tape would be best.

    Do you get burnt by that steam? Or does the kettle in the saddle bag produce it?
