BTW...You planning to go without a mattress/pad?
I may have to add a pound on the tent to stay in the price range, seems most are 3-4 pounds at the price point. Pole length will have to be considered if I don't get a frame bag, i can likely just strap them to the top tube. But the frame bag can house all the service items like tubes, pump, tools, poles, food. I hope to start buying some gear within the next couple weeks to see what works and how to pack it. Plus see how it rides at distance.
Yes I'll need a sleeping pad. The roll up foam therma rest I have now is great for car camping. I've seen a few youtube vids on how people pack up. Some roll the air mat plus tent in the same roll and that goes on the bar bag. which is 9 liters.
The saddle bag offers another 11 liters I think. The larger apidura bag is 17liters.
