There are different sizes/models and would eliminate any need for stuffing things in your jersey pockets.
Different options for attaching if your saddle doesn't have bag loops.

You have a very nice bike and it would almost be a shame to attach a seat post rack. Although, no doubt it would certainly be less expensive.

I never thought about that kind of seat bag. Good idea! That might be just big enough to solve my issue. My seat is a Terry Butterfly with carbon rails. Anything I should be wary of with seat bags and attachments like those on the Wallbike site?

EDIT: I wonder if this attachment would work really well for my set up, with the carbon seat rails combined with the fact that I have a very small bike: http://www.wallbike.com/carradice/ra...bag-sqr-uplift Or maybe it is overkill on size.

I was thinking about this product, kind of a cross between a rack and a bag: http://www.velofred.com/product_info...roducts_id=453
