I don't know how wide these particular bars are, but if they're 42 cm (which is what I had when I used this bag) as you can see you have a little bit -- but not a lot -- of room on the tops. Plenty of room on the hoods obviously.

Didn't bother me when I had it but I rarely ride on the tops.

BB does make a slightly more expensive version with a quick release, and it holds the bag away from the bars so you would have more room on the tops.



ETA: according to BB the bag is 10" wide.
Yes, that's the bag. As in the pic, the Velcro straps basically go on the electrical tape over the bar tape, leaving the rest of the bar for my hands. My bars are narrow, from a 1984 Miyata 210 (that I transplanted over to my Trek 720 touring bike), and the bag works great with them.
