I have the Orucase Smuggler. Gets the job done. I like the straps on it best. $40.

I also have the Orucase smuggler bag. The Voile strap keeps things snug, and does not scratch the handlebar.

Would've prefer an additional loop or attachment to place a front light.

What I like about this one is that it's easier to open up and close than those with zippers.

I just replaced my old Rapha bar bag with their new one, which is much better (you couldn't access the large compartment in the old one without undoing one of the straps, surprisingly dumb). The new one is better but still has one problem:

On my frame (let's call it a 52) it's a very tight squeeze to fit the bag if I have my front light mounted (GoPro mount on the underside of my computer mount). My regular riding buddy has essentially the same setup and on his ~58 frame this is a non-issue.

That PostCo bag looks quite nice but I can't judge from the photos on the site whether it would have the same problem. Smart design with the magnetic flap (though in reality I think that I would most likely stop if I needed to fish something out of there).

I also have a Lead Out bag on a couple of bikes. But I’m liking my new handlebar bag from Louis & Joy a lot. Sturdy design, many different color choices.

I have two of these and they are great. If you need a bit more space, go with the supreme.

Used the Rapha one for the first time today and will be selling my two Road Runner bags ASAP.

The structure and shape of it is just way more functional for me.

It's a really nice bag and I keep meaning to pick one up. Maybe a birthday gift to myself.

Kai Vetures, wife & husband, veteran, California small shop makes very functional (e.g. paracord loops make zipper opening easy), sturdy bags. Can be bought at InCycle.

Plus if you’re matchy matchy, everything is customizable.

Brooks makes two in roughly the size you want. Pricey though. But, made in England, handcrafted, quality leather. I have both of them.

I have one on the saddle and one on the handlebar of my Achielle Roadster. The one with the zipper is definitely easier to get into. Classic looks.

Strong recommendation for Kai Venture!

I bought a fully custom Kai V front bag two years ago - custom dimensions, a built-in lanyard for keys, fabric, colors, and an internal pocket. I requested an internal pocket for small tools, CO2, chainlinks, etc. Kai designed the pocket flip out for easy access. It's fantastic!

I have a strong feeling that Kai can design and build any bag you can dream up.
