One advantage of using a relaxed geometry modern bike over a classic sport tourer geometry is you end up with lots of room between the saddle and the rear wheel.

Definitely get a bag with a longflap and it give you options to carry stuff like bulky food. You can also strap stuff to the top of the bag using the metal rings on the top.
Thanks nun. I think the longflap gives the bag a lot of versatility. As far as the camping gear goes the majority will be on the front rack. I expect the sleeping bag in the bag, but will work towards getting that up front as well - in a safe manner that is. I'll play with that more tonight.
