There's so much room under the average saddle. Has anybody made a tool bag that fits neatly under
there? Perhaps a hard-shell type of deal with a lock on it? (Please send me a check if you follow
through on this and are successful with it.)

Ya know, there actually isn't that much space under there. Well, maybe under the very back, but
where the clamp is, you usually can't get your finger between the saddle and the clamp. And if you
wedged something in there, there'd be very little suspension in the saddle and it'd be quite
uncomfortable. You COULD get something in there behind the clamp, but that space is rather small.
Still, a good place to store keys, some cash and ID perhaps.

Cheers,

Scott..

There's enough room under the nose of some saddles to stash a corkscrew, thereby turning your mount
into a Swiss Army Bike!

Storing a corkscrew under the family jewels. Hope nothing slips during a tumble.

This thought lends new meaning (and pain) to the term "got screwed".

You mean underneath the back of the saddle? I don't know about hard-shell ones, but there are LOTS
of soft nylon ones out there - Any bike store or website should have them.

I'm not talking about a saddle bag. I'm talking about the area underneath the seat itself -- inside
the hardware cage. There's a whole cavity under there that's protected from the elements, pretty
much. Saddle bags are kind of conspicuous...a magnet for klepto wannabees. A locking "trunk" under
the saddle would be pretty cool, I think...even if just to carry a cork screw.
