Thanks. My Masi is a 50/34 (typical for bike type), about the same weight, with Ritchey wheels. Your gear list is pretty typical, almost exactly like mine, but I am intrigued by the Carradice bag. What a cool find! I'll have to investigate that one. I also had a tarptent once that I made (from the Shires pattern), but I found I like double-walled tents for the Appalachian rain forest. Fortunately there are a bunch of dble-walled ul shelters out there now. Thanks again!
