Hi, My wife and I will be vacationing this summer and renting bikes that don't come with panniers or frame bags. I was thinking about a new backpack as a travel carry-on and for the rides we plan to do…
I use a Big Agnes copper spur 2 uls bikepacking model. I'm also 5'11. The tent packs very small. I has doors on both sides and vestibule area on each side. It is stable and very weather proof.

Hello, I finished building my GR270 in February of this year. It has the etched Adventure graphics and a Ti head badge. With pedals but no cages, it weighs 20.9 lbs. It features the following: White Industries CLD hubs,…
