Well I got panniers and racks coming. Ortlieb Bike Packer Plus, Sport Packer Plus, Ultimate 6 Plus Med for the bags. Tubus Duo front and Tubus Logo Evo rear racks.

I figure I will start with the commercial racks and keep things a bit more simple. Not that I don't like making things, I just feel better with this type of application being ready-made from a proven manufacturer/materials/processes.

Next up is a few more pairs of padded shorts.

I need to get a second stem also. I left the fork tube long when I bought the bike so I would have the space in there for adjustment as well as a second stem for a dummy bar for the accessories. That will keep my handlebar free from "stuff".
