It's pretty easy really. Requires drops with brakes or flats with barends. -17° to 0° stem helps too. Just position so CoG is good and squish bag on there so it settles in. Then squish the ends in to make room for your hands. Charcoal's a little tricker cuz it doesn't squish as easily.

No, I squish my hands in under there. You can see the indent where my arm was in the pic. A couple of poorly mounted charcoal bags have ended up with one hand on the bar and one on top of the bag. Very sketch!

I used a milk crate tied on with old tubes on my old Bianchi.
Lately I've upped the ante and put a curbside recycling container on the rack. Attached with 4 self tapping screws - make sure they're short enough they don't come close to your tire. Sweet setup with mega capacity.
If your saddle height's about like mine, make sure you set the container back a bit or it'll rub your ass, not in a good way.

"may have old school decals" - aka "may be older model"
notice they don't specify the tange dropouts in the description. I'd call in that order before I did it. Great deal though, down to $200 too

I carry EighthInch bicycle products in my shop. They come laced up. They make a model called Amelia that have braking surface alo. They are very, very tough. The Amelias are the less expensive models. I think i have a set of black ones for $75. Those are year end close out deals. Great Components and parts

Nashbar has a 72 deal. Got an email saying 72 items, at least 72% off for 72 hours.
Some pretty good deals if you're looking for specific things, they got USB Blackburn Fleas for like $9-12. Crazy good deal. Might pick up another one as a "just in case for later" light.
