I'm guessing this being a crowd of people that enjoys cycling (an outdoor activity) it's probably not too much of a stretch to guess some people here like backpacking too. Furthermore, this being a thread about not appreciating old stuff, somebody here probably likes external frame backpacks. Or is that too much assuming?
