You drewed the little buttons for the Schwinn front wheel "lawyer latches" from the fork blades?
KIDDING!
Awesome hack with the cargo strap, BTW. I use old tubes for bungees all the time, I just never thought of incorporating a QR buckle.
And now I see what can be done with a ridonkulously long Technomic stem. The Nishiki touring bike I picked up last month had one, with a flat bar, since replaced with a more stock SR road stem and rando bar. I've been wondering if anyone would ever want that giraffe of a stem, nice to see one in use.
