-But sometimes, you really do have to carry stuff ... in a bag.
I have a messenger bag, given to me by my brother in law, who in turn had received the bag as a promotional gift.
The bag has a lot of features.
A detachable shoulder strap;
many compartments;
various YKK zippers;
cinch-straps, water resistant, expandable and khaki/mud-colured.
It's most usable feature are the two adjustable straps on the top of the bag that I use to
clip to the top frame tube, under the Sofrider's seat.
No permanent hardware.
The bag is rarely used, as I use the bike for exercise, not shopping.
However, it works well in that location, both empty and loaded. I know. I tested it.
I see no need to invest in a cargo carrying system that was engineered for diamond frame bicycles.
Carrying cargo under the rider, (where a DF bottom bracket would normally go) keeping the
weight close to the center of mass, just makes sense.
Yeah, you want a picture, I know.
Get used to disappointment: I have no camera!
