Hulsroy's Hustle

I have the usual Wald on my T1000 commuter, but not ideal as the shift padles hit the top of the basket and the handlebar actually needs to go lower. I was thinking of cutting the top off so in an ideal scenario the bag attachments to the rack would need to be kind of adjustable? Does that make sense?

I just use on old rolltop backpack whith about the same dimensions of the Wald for it. It holds anything from lunch, snacks, coffee thermos and a 1l Nalgene to the previous combined with a full set of clothes, workshoes and a laptop. Keys, phone and lock go into a stem bag.

I have been wanting a "do-it-all" bag for a long time, but I just don't know if it's feasable, use cases are all over the place. A 3-way rolltop tote with diagonal messenger strap and a possibilty to use it as backpack straps sounds ideal for my use case. (Added bonus would be suitcase trolley loops for airline travel) So you would be looking at a hybrid of all 3 designs. So you would need an internal padded divider for laptop and accessible pockets inside and out.

My partner would just need to stack some A4 binders, office supplies, water bottle, keys, phone and some other things women tend to carry. So it would just be a large compartment, maybe a divider and an inside pocket. Which would bring you back to design 1 with pocket on the inside.

So I get that it would be hard comming up with something for everyone. But like you said, a more expanded version of design 1 and a rack dimesion version of design 3 (with customisation options) would hit most use cases I think.
