Thanks! Like I said, those handlebars are super comfortable. If you haven't recently ridden an upright bike with a leather saddle, you might be missing out; it's like an armchair with pedals.

Ugly and functional, I like it. What brand of frame bag is that?

That shot with the fog in the background looks cool. I can't believe that I never thought to put a backpack inside a set of shopping panniers! I went from wearing a backpack, to strapping it to the top of a rack (which seriously effects the bike's handling), to breaking down and buying touring panniers, which I now regularly carry into the store to go shopping, usually wishing that they were shopping panniers. If only I had seen your setup four years ago.
