There's a particular art to packing for a long ride. You need enough food to keep the legs turning, somewhere to stash the essentials and ideally a bag that doesn't get in the way every time you pedal. The Miss Grape Big Node Top Tube Bag understands all three. It's long, narrow and cleverly positioned along your top tube, keeping everything within easy reach without making your bike feel like it's heading off on a two-week expedition.
Part of Miss Grape's Road range, the Big Node has been developed with endurance cycling and gravel racing in mind. Its generous 1.8-litre capacity provides space for nutrition and everyday essentials, while the slim 4.5cm profile helps prevent interference with your knees during pedalling. The durable Nylon 420 and Polyester 300 construction is designed to withstand serious mileage, and the adjustable strap mounting system means you don't need dedicated frame bosses to fit it. At just 186 grams, it's a rather clever way of carrying more without making a fuss about it.
