Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

So glad I hadn't got round to ordering mine now after seeing yours! I was stuck between full frame or using both bottles will now get something similar to yours, it looks great

I have recently taken receipt of an Alpkit Stingray frame bag (£100 with extra pocket & divider) for my Surly and am awaiting the imminent arrival of a Bikepack Fuel Tank (£24) from Poland.

I havent had a chance to fill it up yet, or ride the bike with it attached but once I have I'll be back with a detailed review. First impressions are good and Alpkit were quick with the fabrication and delivery.

The only thing I'd say is that the ends of the velcro straps are not 'finished' and are pretty rough, but maybe this is done on purpose as they expect that you might want to trim to suit your bike?
