Yup, I'm using a Velo Orange decaleur that fits on the steerer tube. Swift had the bag on hand, so no wait! (I didn't care what it looked like; that said, it looks great!).
Alex Wetmore has a nice writeup for a similar setup: http://alexwetmore.org/?p=439 The real trick for me is getting the bag away from the bars so it doesn't interfere with hands on top, so either the bag has to be below the handlebars (which can be tough when the bag is tall or the bars aren't really high) or pushed away an inch or so by the decaleur. I compared the top to bottom measurement for the bag and then from the rack to the decaleur. You've got the bars pretty high so I don't think that interference with the bars (or, in your case, the interrupter levers) will be a problem. The Velo Orange decaleur that mounts to a 1" headset stack on your Hilsen would work well, I think. A Berthoud decaleur (which mounts to the stem bolt) might not be long enough with the Swift bag (because you've got a long way from the stem to the rack). I love that bike by the way.
