That's been my thinking, too. I guess the underlying question is whether Grant is prone to hyperbole, since I don't really follow Riv too closely. It's either an amazing statement, an incomplete statement (as you suggest), or sales fluffle (e.g, hyperbole).
I'm in the middle of modifying my old Rhode Gear bag to take a decaleur so I can test my Woodrup's geometry. I really don't see why any flat-bottomed bag that can accept a decaleur at the right height can't be front-racked. I'm just wondering if there's anything really special about this bag from a mounting point of view. Looks to me like not.
