I have the Carradry version with the underslung bar.

I just gave up in the end.
Actually, I didn't get on with the Carradice Super C in the end. Just too big, I don't like a bag that takes up the whole of the space in between the drops. And at the angle I had to have it to be clear of the brake/gear cables, the light fittings were no good. So I sold it on Ebay
I've now got the Topeak Compact Tourguide bag http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/Compact_Handlebar_Bag
which is perfect! So small you hardly notice it. Perfect for day rides for your phone, money, snacks etc. And works well as part of a touring set up for your valuables. It's a brilliant design - turns in to a 'fanny pack' or bumbag as we call them.
