[QUOTE=biker3c086e24;21015503]I was honestly just planning to do the "strap it to your handlebars" approach. A friend of mine did that recently and it worked really well for him. But worst comes to worst, I can add a pannier rack that attaches to the seatpost.

Frame bags will really limit your load carrying capacity. You'll know better than me if this would be an issue for you. You may regret not being carry much gear. You could also consider using a trailer if you need more carrying capacity.

If you are able to pack light enough to make frame bags work for you, you will appreciate the lighter weight!
