The upcycled-truck-tarp aesthetic doesn't match the rustic ye-olde charm of F&Y handlebars as well as, say, the "Victoria" saddle bag, but Freitag's new F60 "Joan" bag certainly won't look bad when strapped to 'em. Which is to say that the handbag is a rather more practical cycling accessory, not unlike the recently-seen InCOG multitool (it's probably not a coincidence that they're both mounted on/in the handlebars).
Not only is the F60 convertible, it's also expandable, and fellow cyclists will certainly appreciate details like the exterior straps for oversize cargo—the water resistant materials and sturdy construction go without saying.
