Nice Trek up there Paramount1973. The bar bag reminds me of the newfound usefulness I have in my old bar bag. I used to run it on my road bike but since going with the side-exit shift cable shifters I'd shelved the bag. I have to run the bag backwards for easy zipper access, as the cables kinda inhibit said access a bit but yeah, cables over the top of the bar and into top tube cable stops works with my Ultegra shifters!!!

The re-bending of the bracket wire to fit a fat stem and bar didn't go so well aesthetically but works like a charm.

That IBOC is looking good. I really like the way it looks with drop bars. I have been keeping my eye out at the bike coop, if one ever comes in in my size I'm going to grab it. I have become real fond of bar bags even getting a small one for my Paramount.
