I'd rather not attach to the handlebars. Would I need a decaleur receiver for a Randonneur-style handlebar bag or a tombstone loop for that bag?
I still have thoughts on using the Tubus Duo for the front. Got some time to think about it.
And...I just ordered the Rodeo Spork 3.2 fork. Again, excellent service. With this fork I can attach a rack, fenders, or the low rider rack (and fenders) My current Whisky forks allow none (I had fenders, but they were a little odd to attach).
I use the Nitto M18 on that bike, the Carradice Nelson Longflap rests fine on that rack, look at your handle bar width... my wife's Carradice is very small, I still had to change her handle bar to 44mm. Also the Tubus Duo when my wife comes with me, works fine. At the down part of the fork I place some 2-3mm rubber between the fork leg and the Duo, the Duo fixing point touches the fork there.
Has the Rodeo 3.2 already 3 eyelets, or 2? If 2 eyelets think about it .... the day you mount these fork leg cages 3 eyelets would be the easy way. My Rodeo is some years old and has only tow, so when I mount my King for cages I need to do a workaround with rubber and zip ties.
