I have the old-fashioned drop bars on one of my four bikes, my old TREK
road bike I use for club rides. My Soma Mixte has Albatross bars, my Hunq
and Sam both have Bosco. I prefer the Bosco bars for anything long
distance. They are way better than drops. I've only used the Albatross
bars
That is a great idea. I leave my saddle bag on the Hunq all the time, I never
leave my tablet, phone or camera. About all they could take would be the tire
irons, tube or the whole bag. Zip ties would be a great way to secure the bag.
