Looks great
I found that they are only comfortable when at the same height or higher than the saddle. So, I had to move mine to another bike.

yup, ACORN BAGS handle bar bag.
https://www.acornbags.com/hdlbarbag.html
ordering one of these from outside the USA will take some finagling..
its the only medium sized bag or handlebar bag in general that has rider-facing one-hand operable pockets and can fit with moustache bars. The boxy rando bags all require clearance provided by drop-bars...

I'm neither here nor there on mustache bars but I just put a set on a friend's Garlatti because the chopped bullhorns he had on it were ridiculous and ugly. I had some of the Nashbar steel mustache bars laying around and so I decided to use them since I'm selling the bike and the bars make the bike more aesthetically pleasing and useful.

WOW. I do like the setup but Im not sure how I would feel about where the brake levers are.
Anyway this is the setup on the RockCombo, some kind of Orign8 copys that dont like bar con shifters.

^ Yup, that's look I'm going for. Non aero brakes & bar end shifters. Only thing I would change is that tall stem.
It's got 27" wheels (aluminum, so I won't be changing them anytime soon), so I may even look for a CX 1-1/4 tire to make it a bike more rail trail/fire road friendly.

I tried MB for a while. Finally gave them to the co-op. Went back to bullhorns. They have everything that drops have except drops and I never ride them anyway.
