Thanks!

Right now it's really to start taking on work trips with me & this way I 
can carry my laptop & stuff easily to & from venues & hotels without being 
Mr. Sweaty Back when I get there.

But I do have a mad idea involving the TransAmerica Trail and a Brompton.

phillip, seems like you got big plans/adventures planned for your 
brompton!  

fyi, this approach of using a stem on the seatpost is exactly how berthoud 
mounts their cages for their bigger seat bags!

 I'm looking for the seatpost mounted (or seat mounted) bar or strut 
 that would allow to attach a backpack as shown. The Nitto R50 really 
 wouldn't work for this.

 Any ideas?

Don't know of a hack, but I just bought a few of these from

I think they were listed as Dia Comp but might fit Shimano too.

You guys are awesome!  I looked at Loose Screws, but I guess I only
looked under the Brake section, not the Cable section.  While I'm at
it, I suppose I should get some individual cassette/freewheel cogs to
salvage some of those cassettes and freewheels that are sitting in the
bottom of my parts drawer.

Thanks again,

I went through the same thing.  Any bike shop that works on older
bikes and three speeds or has been in business for a long time will
have a 50-gallon drum filled with those!  Just bring the lever and
point.  They'll know what you are asking for.
