Thought about something like that as well. I have an underseat bag and if you look carefully you will see the clip under the seat. I have other pics without the rack earlier in this thread. I view the rack as a necessary evil (so to speak) as I think it sort of spoils the lines of the bike unless the panniers are on and then it looks ok. I will probably pick up Carradice saddle bag when I can find the style I want to go with it.
