Just recently bought a lightly used big Super C for a (future) tour. It's a very functional size. I did a test pack and dumped most of my stuff in it (sleep stuff, clothes, tools) without even thinking and it still has space. Can even strap tent to the outside if it's starting to look full. My only concern is the bagman support, which some people say isn't suitable for rough roads. Hoping they actually mean gnarly singletrack/very skinny tyres and that I'll be OK.

I’ve tried various packing setups and ou of everything I’ve tried and used the Carradice super C (big one) with a QR Bagman support is my favourite. Easy to pack, works as a satchel type bag with shoulder strap, easy to fit and remove, useful side pockets, rock solid.
The big super C is better than the Nelson long flap and other classic looking Carradice imo as the leather straps and metal buckles are a pita compared to plastic clips/webbing.
