Jim, I have used the Carradice SQR system with a Barley bag for years. It works great. It attaches to the seat post instead of the saddle rails so is much more secure than the bagman. You can buy multiple attachments at half the cost of the bagman. The SQR keeps the bag back away from the thighs. It is completely invisible when in use and much less conspicuous than an empty bagman. I have it set up on two bikes and have both a barley and Long Flap for the rare occasions I need something bigger. It's easy to swap around. I recommend.
