Patrick: Not sure if these would qualify as a "full handlebar rack/bag" of the kind you want to avoid, but these Klik-Fix handlebar bags from Berthoud work extremely well on Albas; very solid, zero sway..

I have the Brand V bar bag. On Noodles. But it is beautifully made, easily accessible while riding and holds a lot of stuff. Camera (older Canon point&shoot so slightly bulky), snacks, cellphone, rolled up light jacket, tube. It has a double ended zipper, that's easy to grasp. The two brass rings on each end can be used for extra stability if one wants (not needed but personal preference). If on tour, I attach a short velcro strap to each brass ring and then stretch that to my brake lever/handlebar. I'm impressed with this bag, and 3 friends have purchased their own in the few months after seeing mine. This might be the best current picture of it though not great, if you look closely at the brake lever, you can barely see the small velcro strap, it sits flat and I never know it's there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30856149@N04/8652002735/in/photostream/ Joan On 04/20/13, Deacon Patrick<lamontg...@mac.com<mailto:lamontg...@mac.com>> wrote: I'm currently using an xs saddlebag as my handlebar bag, but would love something a wee bit bigger with an easy access map pocket (I have the map case Riv. sells, so that's covered). I've been eyeing Acorn's handlebar bags (small and regular), but am unsure how well the anti-sway straps will mount to Albatross bars. Any input or other bag recommendations appreciated. I would rather avoid adding a front rack or full handlebar rack/bag. Thanks!
