Alex Cycle in Japan has a number of Ostrich bags that fit the F15. The US has a very favorable exchange rate with the Yen these days.
I'm still debating whether the F15 or the Klickfix mount such as Swift uses. Either way, I'm reluctant to need a rack for a front bag as I would like to move the bag from bike to bike quickly, sans tools. With a Klickfix one could have base mounts on several bikes, but I don't care for the visual of a mount in bars when I'm not using the bag. In my mind, some strong, rectangular magnetic strips on the bar, either side of the stem, would be less noticeable sans bag. The bag would have rectangular receivers, as well as traditional bar straps. There are a number of engineering design approaches. It's having the tools to make them that is rub - or pay a machinist shop to make them!
