That's cool. You're not supposed to have big practical bags hanging off your bike nowadays!
What bottle cages?
c.h.e.-
Exactly. At what point did strong, light, rigid, racks with bags become less cool than floppy rocket-booster saddle bags and bolting stuffsack harnesses to your frames and forks? For actual trail use, I get it. I have the ‘bikepacking’ bags and use them, but for daily, and road/gravel use, racks and panniers are still so easy and foolproof.

I think they're cheap Elites. Seem to do the job.
Panniers definitely less good on technical trails but for all round usefulness, and not having to obsess over how they're packed, much more handy.
