Dang, I forgot about this thread! I wanted a smallish handlebar bag to carry my keys/phone/wallet as well as snacks and what-not. I did a lot of looking, and Road Runner Bags' Burrito Supreme fit the bill, and was a steal at only $70. Still, for me that's a lot of money, and they didn't have a good brown. So I stol um borr er was inspired by it and made my own. No easy access to a machine, so I stitched it by hand; it's wonky but sturdy and it's mine. Still deciding if I want to use the same fabrics to make a feed bag.

I've since changed the handlebars to VO Porteurs upside down. The cables are still ridiculously long; I'll shorten them when I strip her to the frame for rust treatment and cleaning.
