I have a frame bag and I have been using it on my bike that does not have a rear rack. For the spring rides I need to have enough space for my jacket and some colder temp gear. It has been working well even with the cross winds. It seems odd that the OP thinks that this is a relatively new idea, my frame bag is 30 years old. Maybe it just never caught on 30 years ago so they quit making them. mine was made my velocipac.
