Brooks D-Shaped Bag

[drewdane]

Anybody know if the straps on a Brooks D-Shaped tool/saddle bag will fit around a pair of handlebars? I'm interested in a small handlebar bag to carry random detritus, and it seems to me that would do the trick and look damn good doing it - if it fits.

(The other end of the bike is taken up by a rack and trunk bag - no room to hang a saddle bag)

Thanks.

Dang that's fancy (http://www.kinetics.org.uk/html/d-shaped.shtml)!

You didn't ask, so I had to hide this. For us poorer folk, I loves the Jandd Mtn Handle Pack 2 (http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/p/ACBAGBAR/BG2546). It's even got two fancy bungies that go down to the eyelets so things stay stable (http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=612285094&context=set-1566310&size=l). Damn links! ;^)

I think the bar tube is what you really want:

I really like my Berthoud bag . . . typically carry my keys, cell phone, Dinotte battery pack, gels and a few fig newtons. Berthoud is french and kind of expensive, but I expect it to last for 20 years. I'm about to buy another for my road bike cause I'm tired of swapping the bag back and forth.
