Google "porteur rack bag" to see the options.
Thanks, great suggestion. I follow the Cycling Trucker, but I didn't know what he uses. I'm bookmarking that bag.Check out the Cycling Trucker on YouTube. He uses a Restart Rando Bag https://restrap.com/products/rando-bag-small. I've ordered a R&M Superdelite and will definitely be taking a serious look at this when my bike arrives in July.
Sounds like a good plan to me. Just ordered my superdite and will be looking for a bag for the front rack.Thanks to your search suggestion (!) I found this, which might be pretty ideal. My R&M Superdelite is on order, so I will need to wait until it gets here to take measurements and see if this bag would work. Maybe a current R&M owner can chime in. This bag is tall but looks foldable and can be enlarged when needed. https://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/wear/bags-luggage/waxed-porteur-rack-pack-by-laplander-bags/
And I agree, with R&M making such a standard front rack, why doesn't some bag company jump on that and offer a bag for the R&M front rack?
I did notice that Dill Pickle Gear offers to make custom bags to your specs and apparently for a pretty reasonable price. https://www.dillpicklegear.com/picklejar/index.php?route=product/category&path=260
Maybe we could even interest Dill Pickle in offering a standard bag design to R&M owners. What does everyone think?

That’s quite nice. How much was it to be made?I had a very minimalist bag made by The Spindle here in Atlanta. I want it low so it did not interfere with the head lamp and small so I can carry just the essentials. It holds a spare tube, small tool kit, pump, sunglasses, mask, sunscreen, wallet and light rain jacket. It is just enough to ride without pannier when wanted.

Very nice. If you can, how is it attached? And, what are the bag dimensions? Much thanks.I had a very minimalist bag made by The Spindle here in Atlanta.

Hi Squaxor, The only reference I've seen on this bag is hereI wanted to buy the Rando Bag, but the retailer has advised it won't fit on the front carrier:
Looking at the photo of the rack on the link you provided, it looks like the Rando Bag won't fit on that rack I'm afraid, mainly due to the flat top, which wouldn't allow our fittings plate to fit onto it (see photo below for reference)
Has anyone bought one of these and fitted it?
unfortunately he doesn't show how he's fixed it on. I guess if the retailer is advising against it then I would take their word for it. As you've mentioned before it looks like it will also obscure the light.
Let me know how it goes. It is a super looking bag and it would be ideal for my needs.He shows a little later that he attaches the bag using cable ties on the very front of the rack. I think if I raise the light then it should be possible.
