It doesn't, nor does my TA. I'd bet there's significant variation from batch to batch, year to year.

TA


LaFuma


Both have clasps for the small pockets in the back, but they're different. The TA bag has a map pocket, the LaFuma has a piece of leather crudely hand sewn where the map pocket would be - obviously a repair job.

I posted these picks on Flickr, Dave Cain of Waxwing Bags commented that he got started making bags when he found an old TA handlebar bag in the trash behind a bike shop and used it to make his first templates! BTW, he's made a few custom bags for me, and I can highly recommend him if you're interested in a Handmade in America, quality custom product.
