I like that they were original to the Passage and of course just shift so smoothly.

With both this Passage and a Miyata 610 I have I first rode 3 miles or so with the original bars and low stem and found it so uncomfortable I wanted to quit after a few miles. Now with similar cockpits on both bikes I'm ok for up to 40 miles.
That's a cheap fanny pack type bag I found at
Amazon I think. Not optimum and will probably go.
I really like your setup. I dig the silver brake levers and was actually looking for some of those ergo grips for my High Sierra with trekking bars.
About your shifter setup- have you tried different locations- I mean like on top, like old school thumb shifters or on the inside sorta like rapid fire shifters?
