Any ideas about when it was made and what originally lined the inside? TIA for any info.

Cool bag.

We need a pic of it on the bike, they are not always "one size fits all".

I would expect to carefully bend the back supports outward, forward to tilt the bag away from the brake, cables.

I would scrub off the flaking coating, best I could and maybe wax the inside with paraffin and mild heat or try some other DWR, maybe.
