John, Another option is to zip tie a medium wald basket to your rack lengthwise. I have that arrangement on my 56cm SimpleOne currently. The basket is well foreword (almost touches my legs), and as low as possible (rack touches fender, though my fender is well off the tire). I have also used a Baggins Country bag but on different bikes. I don't think there is much difference in the handling for similar loads. I have not used a real trunk sack, so I can't say if my experience differs from other responders (who say trunk sacks wag the bike) because the basket works differently, or because of different positioning, or just because I am an insensitive or unobservant rider.
