1989 Bridgestone MB-1
2023 HMR Rider RigBAGS: Revelate Design for everything, except for an Outer Shell drawcord handlebar bag in the front for food. The frame bag is meant for a Straggler but it fits well enough - I just have the occasional leg/shoe/crank arm rub. Well, actually, it bulges enough to always be rubbing on something. I’ll get a custom bag eventually. I cut off the mesh on the stem bags because the elastic had worn out and the pockets no longer held things.The stem bags will dry a little faster now whenever they get wet. Sleeping pad is strapped directly to the saddle rails.
GEAR HIGHLIGHTS: Fujifilm X100F camera stashed in the right stem bag. SP PV-8 (or Kasai Dynacoil RB) 32h dynamo hub. King Cage Manythings strapped to the downtube via King Cage USB clamps. Hydrapak 3L reservoir with a hose. Sinewave Beacon. SON light in the back. Ergon GA3 grips with SQLabs 411 innerbarends. Wahoo Bolt V2
Hanging off the saddle rails, there’s an omamori charm given to me by my friend Alan which he picked up at Kiyomizu Kannon-do, the oldest temple in Tokyo. The charm is for “wish fulfillment”.
