Just rying to figure out how to carry more.
There are two of us, and we each have full frame bags in the front triangle, with a fabric bottle holder attached to the stem.
My frame bag is larger, so I can hold 3 tall bottles in the top compartment (plus spare tube, tire levers, pump and trail mix) and a tall and regular bottle in the bottom compartment. Plus one on the stem.
Yes, I have used a 3 liter drinking bladder in the top part, but I don't enjoy sucking on the hose. I also have a bottle cage on the bottom of the down tube, but I use that exclusively for alcohol stove fuel when I'm camping.
Her frame bag is smaller, as her bike is smaller, so she can carry 2 tall and 1 short bottle in the bag, and one in the stem bag up top. I would have included pictures but my camera isn't cooperating.
Frame bags are from Revelate, stem bags from Swift.
