I'm pretty sure legs clearance should be fairly ok as I have an almost TT-like set up with the saddle a long way forward on the seatpost, but anything else to be wary of?
Bear in mind that, although it is billed as "extra large capacity", it is a 10.5l bag (according to Blackburn's page about it). That is smaller capacity than many of this type of bag, which generally seem have quoted capacity of about 13-17l. If 10l is enough for you then that is fine.
I looked (online) at various bags a few months back & in the end went for an Alpkit Koala (13l). So far I've been pleased but I've only used it as a day bag so far - compressed to its minimum it fits a jacket, tools, minipump & a couple of spare tubes but has plenty of additional space for removed layers (when the day has started at low single figure temps) or things aquired during the day.
