I'm thinking about getting a frame pack from Alpkit for light touring off-road but I'm a bit unsure what you can get into one and if they're worth the expense. I'm also toying with the idea of getting a seat pack from them when they are available.
So please post photos of your frame/seat packs and what you can squeeze into them.
cheers
I'm on my phone so no pics I'm afraid but also have a look at Bikepack.eu again custom made to fit your bike but a frame back with all the options is similar in price to Alpkit basic RRP.
I've got their seat pack, frame bag, handlebar bag & top tube munchers holder.
Allows me to carry far more than I need for 2/3 days at a time on my Fargo.
Hmmmmm, toying with this idea for my mtb commuter to delete the need of a rucksack/ pannier/etc, i'd just need it for a set of clothes, puncture tools & some food.
