Comments on: Brooks Saddle Archive http://ridelugged.com/2006/12/05/brooks-saddle-archive/ A site about lugs, tan sidewalls, maybe jazz, classical, punk and bluegrass, local riding, worldly riding and people, cool cats, lame ducks, 110 bcds, wool, and smelling like hell after a long ride.

I can fit a tarp, sleeping quilt (old poncho liner), and small thermarest in no problem. Cooking can be sterno or esbit stoves. Still needs some refinement. I look to the <a href="http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/ultralightbiking/" rel="nofollow">ultralight bike camping list</a> for inspiration. Cold weather I can add some ortleib front rollers and fill full with warm stuff. I'm also looking for more offroad worthy packing plans. Maybe stuff sacks on a rack, and/or a frame sack.

During one of my cyclical (pun intended) purging of cycling junk aquired over the years, I foolishly got rid of a set of 4 mel pinto branded panniers. These were imported canvas bags in the french (now more like japanese) style. Similar to the Ostrich bags <a href="http://www.velo-orange.com/ospa.html" rel="nofollow">Velo-Orange sells,</a> but maybe not quite as nice. On the other hand, I hope I don't have to ever travel again with more than would fit in a nelson longflap, arkel bar bag, and camelbak hawg, which is the setup I use now. Cool old bags.
