Aesthetics, saddlebags and tasty porn, the kind mom used to make.
As you can see, I splurged and got me a new post (Miche Supertype) with my new saddle (B17N). I so love it -- it looks like it'll be just as awesome functionally as form -- and I don't want to cover it up with a saddle bag. Any suggestions on how to carry the basics on frame?
Did I kill this?

First time I brought four bottles, my buddy Tom teased me about it, but four hours later was thanking me for sharing

Which would kill the style points gained from the Supertype / Brooks, if you care about style points. I don't. Nice setup. I'll get me one of those in black for my MarkV...
