hippy-
No, they're proper bar bags.
First one is a Decathlon one

Second one is a similar one from eBay, which has side pockets

I've tried a couple of bag setups and think I'm going with this (from the back):
Apidura saddle bag (small) with only sleeping stuff and tools I hope not to use.
Pretty small triangle frame bag from eBay that fits perfectly in the 'V' between my two bottles (for clothes I need to access like arm-warmers, gilet, etc)
Alpkit top tube bag, right behind my stem. Handy place to put stuff that won't fit in a pocket.
Two bar bags - the first one is mainly for electrical stuff and medical bits and the second (zip tied to aerobars) is purely a nosebag, to be filled with food!
I've ditched my Alpkit frame bag as it interfered with bottles and TBH it didn't hold much anyway.
It was a close thing between Apidura saddle bag and a rack + rack bag, which is a bit heavier (340g for the rack) but is far easier to use with zips + side pockets, etc.
