Comments about Timbuk2 Goody Box Top Tube Pack:
I have a small seatpost bag, but wanted to carry more than a patch kit and energy gel packs. I use it to store my cel phone, a small pistol and energy bars. Very stable mount.

Comments about Timbuk2 Goody Box Top Tube Pack:
I bought this bag to get rid of the large backpack I carried to hold my tube, pump, GU etc. While it is a tight fit for all my stuff it does hold it all securely to my road bike. ( Keep in mind I carry a lot of stuff. The two things I didn't like was the zipper to the main compartment sticks a little and my iPhone will only fit in the holder if I take it out of the case. It does seem to be built well and should last awhile. It has a lifetime guarantee. It worked well on my recent 70 mile ride. My GU was always in reach.

Comments about Timbuk2 Goody Box Top Tube Pack:
I like to go on long distance Rides and use my phone for a GPS and tracker for my riding app. This pack is great for putting my phone in a convenient spot for me to access and also giving me a place to store extra batteries and food. The dual zipper system is a little stiff, hard for one handed use if you want to grab a snack while still riding. The mesh pockes on the side are useful for small items such as an ID or chapstick. The biggest problem I have with this is the width of the bag, had to change the way I ride while out of the saddle just to keep from hitting my knees. Also I noticed the front straps for securing to bike stem are difficult to use but then I noticed in the sample shots on REI they are only using one of the straps.

Comments about Timbuk2 Goody Box Top Tube Pack:
It's a really great idea and if it had fit my bike I would give it more stars. I have what I would consider to be a normal amount of spacers below my stem but couldn't get this to fit. I think it would fit a mountain bike or another bike with a taller head tube, but it didn't fit on mine. It was a REALLY tight squeeze getting my phone in and out of the sleeve on the front as well which would get old after a while if I hadn't returned the bag. It's a great idea and if it fits your bike and phone I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be as durable as any other Timbuk2 product

The velco straps are a bit short in the front, but nothing an extension could not fix. I like the phone pocket! All around very easy to use and very functional

Fit well on the bike. Seemed well made. Top pocket for iPhone was just perfect. Sadly, it's a smidge too wide and my knee would occasionally bump into it.

Comments about Timbuk2 Goody Box Top Tube Pack:
The bag is well made. The Velcro straps are not. They are too short to go around the top bar. The stem straps are also too short and poorly spaced. My top tube is flat on top but the bag overlaps each side. When I stand to climb, my knees rub, especially if I tilt the bike side to side. I think on a long ride that would become annoying. So, no, I can't use it road cycling. But it fits my wife's city bike well. She has a sloped top tube and the bag is pretty handy for lots of her 'stuff'. Again, the Velcro could be longer.

Comments about Timbuk2 Goody Box Top Tube Pack:
This top-tube bag is big. More than enough space for lights, batteries, money, IDs and food for long rides. I don't use the smart-phone pocket for phones but rather route/cue sheets. The 2 side mesh pockets are perfect for a gel packet and the all important lip balm.
If you've got a smaller bike like me (50cm) where the top tube isn't as long as that of bigger frames, it doesn't leave much space between your saddle and this bag.
I'll try to post a followup review after my next double century.
