Depending on your bike, you could bodge a decaleur mount for a rando bag onto the Carradice using the existing straps, and simply have that slot into the stem mounted section?
If you don’t need utmost speed, pedal straps are quicker than the leather straps provided and just strap it to the bars or an extension if you need the handlebar space.
Sjs/Thorn sell an accessory bar that takes the place is a spacer that you could mount under the bars and just slide the straps off the ends when needed, especially if it’s resting on a rack

How awkward are Audax/Nelson saddlebags to carry around with a strap? Looking for something I could easily bring with me for long walks inside the shops/museums (etc.)
...
Also, is there a legitimate or bodgy way to mount them on the front of the bike, resting on a rando rack but still having some sort of QR similar to the Bagman's?A CarraDry handlebar bag or Ortlieb Ultimate 6 Plus (large size) both offer similar capacity to the Super C Audax saddle bag (9l and 8.5l vs 9l) and they use a Klikfix mount for easy removal with no rack required. These handlebar bags have the advantage of their lids hinging away from the rider so there is no need to dismount to access the contents, unlike the case of a saddlebag mounted up front.

I've seen the hacks involving Ortlieb hooks and a strut attached to the handlebars via some clamps, but said clamps always seem hard to find.
(First post on this forum btw, didn't find an "Introduce yourself" topic, hope that's cool.)
