As another review of the Taconite Trail Bike Trunk says, not only must the bag do the job, it must look damn good. And if he thinks it looks good on a Surly Long Haul Trucker, you should see it on a Specialized AWOL, the green and brown of the bag a perfect match for the army green and brown of the bike. The bike trunk (or the bike boot, as we call such bags on this side of the Atlantic) is just the right size for a spare tube, a proper repair kit and a café lock, with plenty of room left over for a half bottle of wine and a picnic lunch or for those free range eggs and homemade sausages you purchase from the farms you pass on your afternoon ride through the countryside. And having ridden through more than one downpour with the Frost River bike boot now, I was pleased to find everything inside still nice and dry, the bag completely waterproof.
