Only thing is the way they open/close looks potentially annoying what with the shoulder strap having to hook around the front. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Non-issue. I sometimes wrap the strap via the underside of the bag. Looks neater that way as well!

Bad photo is bad.

Man that bike is so sweet, I'm shocked every time I see it. You do full-blown touring on it?

You do full-blown touring on it?

So far since I started two years ago, I've done one 3 week tour in France and one 11 day tour in Germany while doing the usual camping stuff (tent, cooking, etc). Is that full-blown touring? My first tour (France) sure felt like it!

@jambon:

Notice you've gone for rear panniers on the front, any reason other than capacity?

Capacity indeed, this frame has no mounts for a rear rack (since it's really an MTB frame). And to stick it to the man by using rear panniers at the front. 🤘

Thanks for the kind words about the bike guys.
