I hand sewed on two nylon straps, one at headtube and one at bottom for downtube, each strap was very short and then I fed some two sided Velcro (yellow color in photo) between the bag and that strap. The material of the bag is very tough, I had to use a pliers to hold the needle to push the needle thru the fabric, I remember that because I badly bent up the needle. I spent maybe a half hour on that while listening to some mindless tv show.
You can just barely see some black stuff under the yellow two sided Velcro, I wrapped inner tube rubber around the painted finish first to protect the paint from chaffing. And that Velcro is wrapped on pretty tight so that the rubber won't rub on the paint.
As you can see from my first photo (that you linked to), the shape of the bag fit perfect in my frame, but you would have to take a good look at your frame to see if the shape is right.
