Do you have ideas how I can adapt it to my Brompton?

I know that I need to start with a frame, but which frame?
C frame? S frame? Rolltop frame?

Also, I saw a thread here from someone that made her(?) Own bags.

I would love more pictures and ideas.
Okay, I found this Brompton C/T Frame on ebay. I'm still not certain how this works, but I'm guessing it somehow quick releases from some mount on the headtube of the Brompton.

To me it looks relatively easy to sew/construct a leather bag around the frame. As far as attaching your existing bag, I would think that Velcro tabs might work. However, seeing how expensive the Tom Bihn Maker's bags cost, I'd be hesitant to modify one.
