From a recent short Rocky Mountain tour. At the top of Independence Pass, the highest paved crossing of the Continental Divide.
Rear bag is an old Carradice knockoff by "Cardiff", a Merry Sales brand, I picked up for $5. I prop it up with a rolltop saddle bag of spares that keeps it from hitting my thighs. I sewed the front bags. The panniers are sized to exactly fit the Koga Miyata cloned Jim Blackburn-esque low rider rack. It would appear i neglected to close my rando bag in this shot.
