Nope, not hauling them up that one anymore. Now we go from Dyckman up to 181st on that long hill on Broadway most mornings. And occasionally up to the Cloisters on the way, for no rational reason.

I can't quite tell from their graphics how the bag mounts on the SQR. I have a Carradice Nelson Longflap on my randonneuring bike (not the Swift), and I'm looking at it, then back at that graphic, then back at the bag... Do you have one of these? What happens with the leather straps that usually go through the saddle loops?
Urbanis, if you're thinking of something like a Carradice bag, would a Bagman do what you want?

I have one. It's a little under-engineered, but a little blue Loctite has held it together over half a dozen brevets.
Have you seen a Crossrack in person? We could rendezvous...
