Whilst progress on the fixed commuter brews.
I’ve got a good week of bikepacking next week. 4 days in Scotland riding from Inverness to Glasgow. Then an overnight trip to the New Forest with some friends.
So am starting to fiddle with bag setup for the trip. Thought I’d be clever and make use of this underside of the down tube bottle cage mount for one of those tool bottles - free up space in the frame bag - buuuuuut im dumb and overestimated the amount of clearance between the down tube and tyre on this silly frame with fat tyres -_-
Yet to start packing, still need to get some bits. If anyone has any bike packing ‘can’t live withouts’ feel free to drop em here
