platypus-
I have a front rack on the fixed gear which I love, but doesn't look like that's possible with this bike (carbon fork, thru axels).
I had a look at the Tubus Fly with panniers as an option but I don't think I carry enough stuff to warrant it.
One issue is weight. The bike is fairly hefty as it is, I have to lug it up 4 flights of stairs when I get into work and there's also a fair bit of climbing both ways.
That's why initially I thought a frame bag might be a good, lightweight solution to the sweaty back backpack problem.

Looking for a backpack alternative for the commuter (Genesis Equilibrium Disc).
I try to only carry the essentials in my backpack (Underwear, Socks, T-shirt, Phone, Keys, Lunch) so I'm thinking a large frame bag might be the way to go.
Where should I be looking... Restrap /8bar/Blackburn?
