Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

WOW, surely that would rub your legs abit though?

Do your knees bend backwards?

Bro do you even gastrocnemius

You must have puny quads. My legs rub on bulky light fittings on the seatpost.

Well this backfired. I was just taking this piss out of HP. I know him outside of the internet.

Also, boast post

I've got very skinny legs, just a very narrow stance. I'd never get a child through these hips.

Haha, just as well you won't need to then hey

I'm pretty similar build to you I think and I did have to take off my saddle tool roll because it was catching my legs.
I just like winding Harrison (HP) up

How dare you reveal my real identity!

Also now i come to think about it, whats going on with the sadle height anyway? Cant seem to see a single way that would would build up to a normally proportioned bike. (Not thatbim the expert on such things as @PhilDAS knows). karma is a bitch aye phil.

Ohhhh so its a bromtpon then!

But less convenient

and much more expensive.

etc.

Really should just buy an adults bike rather than stick a crazy long seatpost and stem on a kids one.

Dunno. Slam the stem and pursuit bars, would ride.

sewed some stem bags and a frame bag

If this doesn't pack into its own bags then it can GTFO

Very impressive!
Good work.

.

On the English, the stress on that seat stay/post junction is going to be significant. worse still, it's ugly!
