It depends on your height, of course ..
with the front frame clip the bars turn over the bag,
Bag too tall, brakes hit the bag with their lever tips.. not good .
S bar bag frame and get someone else to sew a deeper bag that is not tall, perhaps?
more front to back , same side to side..
a low load or one that may be taller , but Soft, so turning the bars over the bag , it gives way.
Or strap a Carradice saddle bag onto the Bag frame for the S bag.
they are sold separately.
maybe strap a 2nd one on the back of your saddle..
I'm 5'9". I have an M bar , & touring bag.
not a sit up and beg position at all.
I shift the saddle back on its rails, and flip the seat clip
behind the post.. to put the seat back further yet.
stick a saddle adapter pin on , point it backwards
and the saddle set back can be made even more..
It takes weight off my hands..
