Clearing the closet

[Jolt]

Well, darn. Actually, I think I will just move the handlebar bag off the off road/around town bike (where it doesn't play well with the cantilever brakes--it rubs the cable and can make them drag a little) to the road bike where it will work better. How big is the bento box? Maybe that could replace the handlebar bag on the other bike.

The bento measures to 5" deep/long, 3.5" tall and 1 1/4" wide (I measured the panels up to the stitching). Here's the box in the REI site:

As I mentioned, I did not use it a single time

Well, I don't think that is quite what I was looking for after all, but thanks anyway. Hopefully someone else will be interested.

What are the reach and drop specs for those bars?

Hi Crankin,

It's an FSA Omega Compact:

• 125mm drop
• 80mm reach
• 4 degrees outward bend

Here's the page on the FSA web site: http://www.fullspeedahead.com/produc...PACT-HANDLEBAR

Thanks for your interest Jolt!

The drop is perfect, but I need a shorter reach.
Thanks, though.

Specialized has a bar with 123mm drop and 75mm reach (a version of which I had in a previous bike):

Other bars that I know about and you could consider are the 3T Ergonova (123/77 -- this is the one I use currently on my bikes), Ritchey Pro BioMax (130/75), and the Salsa Pro Road Small 2 (106/76).

Note to add: Zipp Service Course 70 Ergo or the SL 70 (128/70) and Dimension Flattop Shallow Reach (125/70).
