Fs: salsa spearfish - rolling chassis

Got mixed feelings about selling this, but looking to move on my mk1 salsa spearfish.

The next ones i settled on were sq lab bars with a nice 16deg sweep (ox30 I think?), not especially flexy but a really nice shape with Goldilocks amount of sweep for me. Am now...

Re: Fitting a Carradice bag to my bars ?

Then some spare rack struts (maybe tortec ones I think) and a couple of p clips to attach it all together. Think I spent about £13ish for the rack parts. Watch the YouTube clip on the linked threa...

I have a carrdice barley bag. I no longer have a Brooks saddle to fit it to. Is there a way to fit a Carradale bag to my handlebars? Seem to think I have sent it done. Anyone ?
