Rapha bar bag review.

Review rapha handlebar bag the rapha mini bar bag is a compact two litre capacity handlebar bag designed to carry everyday essentials on and off the bike.

The first iteration of the rapha bar bag i received came with three key attachment straps. However it scores a couple of own goals by having no rear light mount and no external bungee strap.
