strap, but it does not line up well -- it's parallel to the line of the
bike, so it would take twisting the strap around to go on the crossbar

So the decaleur is more stable than just dropping the bag over the vertical
loop of the rack? Does the bag still attach to the base of the rack? I've
never seen one of these in person & it's too grasp in the photos, but it
sounds quite well thought out.

The distance between the handlebars and the rack on my Rivendell made
it so the bag wouldn't sit on the rack when it was strapped to the
handlebars, and when I tried just to strap it to the rack, it slopped
around. I already had the Velo Orange rack though, so I didn't work
very hard to make

Does your front rack position the bags as low riders?

I read in the online Riv newsletter that the small-sized Bombadil has but one
top tube. Since this is the size I'd ride I'm curious to se a pic of one but
there aren't any on the Riv home page as far as I can see. Anyone out there
have a pic of one they could share with the group?

I'd try to turn any excess cash into items of value.
Maybe extra tires, bearing using parts, chains, cables.

Still tweaking the angles. I had to raise the front to clear the rack
mount. Seems to work just fine, but I'm at the limit of the straddle
