Holding out for the Extralight version that takes 2 hours to put on the bike and slowly weeps your snacks out the sidewalls.

The huge logo is awful

Just sayin' (and I would expect that they are well-tested). I could see where some might prefer a subtle "tab" logo, sure. Last edited by dddd; 05-14-2024 at 05:58 PM. |

Hmmm … in banana, peanut butter, coffee of course. “Clogged with flavor!”

I'm with spoonmanorastroman. There is no need for this when a Roadrunner Burrito or any number of similar bags exist. I agree they stepped on a rake with the logo size and placement.

Love that classic 1946-to-mid 1960s logo—so much that it's the one we put on the OPEN x Rene Herse collab that the OP showed with our new bag.
It all went downhill when Rene Herse updated his logo with the big, fat 'R' in 'Rene.' How could he? Isn't anything sacred? Things just haven't been the same since then! |

This product seems fine.

More seriously, Rene Herse has always been a forward-looking brand. René Herse built the fastest, lightest, most high-tech bikes of his era. His bikes changed with the times in many ways. In retrospect, some of us may prefer the early bikes (wider tires, lighter weight), but at the time each change was seen as progress. Talking to Lyli, it's clear that there wasn't much nostalgia in the Herse family. She didn't pine for wide tires or Cyclo derailleurs—her last bike had Dura-Ace on it!
Fast-forward to 2024, and we still see it that way. We appreciate classic solutions—not out of nostalgia, but because they work well. We love analog bikes for the feel and riding experience (and reliability), but not out of nostalgia. And we also appreciate 'modern' bikes because they also work very well. We won't ever make something with sub-par performance just because it's fashionable, but we aren't retrogrouches who wish it was still 1952 or 1972 or 1992 or whenever we were 21 years old and the sun was always shining.

That's the problem with slapping a dead French guy's name on your product to score big with "cognoscenti" and justify high price tags, people have expectations.

Jan,
If you’re still listening… I love my burrito bags and am awfully loyal to road runner bags on this front, but surely add a key fob, especially for the large sizes. I don’t find they affect my handling at these sizes, but I do find it a hassle to wrestle my key from the bottom after a long ride. It sinks to the bottom under the Houdini shell, and mini pouch with lib balm, .5 ounce Nalgenes of sunscreen and hand sanitizer, etc. My dog gets very impatient with me, since she can hear me but I’m just not quick enough to open the door. Roadrunner hasn’t added a key fob despite my requests, but perhaps this could your innovation as alas you are coming quite late to a crowded field with this product launch. |
