Kilo TT: handlebar bag vs. Rack/trunk bag vs. backpack??
I've been wanting to keep my Kilo Stripper pretty much bare bones. I use a messenger bag for my daily commute. But I've been doing longer rambles and need some other storage. Has anyone tried a handlebar bag on the Kilo? Does it effect the ride quality? How about rear racks?
I tried a frame bag but don't like it at all, but maybe I didn't give it a chance, either.

If you can fit it in your messenger bag, I would just keep using that. It's versatile for on and off the bike and it keeps your gear close when you're off the bike grabbing lunch or taking a break or whatever.
If you need a rack, I'd suggest a rear rack with a pannier bag. Preferably something removable that you can take off whenever you're not using it. That's sort of what I'm looking into now for my Masi Uno.
