Phooey.

I just had a huge serving of very spicy panamg curry, perhaps that will ward it off.

And, that is where the Domane down tube storage is really nice. Everything I need fits in there. Only thing I need to put in the pocket is my phone.

Friend showed up with a bag similar to this one day. I think he had a bunch of rain gear in it.

Funny, I don't really notice those burrito bar bags. I don't have one but people I ride with do and they are unobtrusive, imho.
I always have a seatpack on the road but I need more room than those tiny ones have. When we used to go into the mountains sometimes I would even wear a Camelbak for the water storage. I tried wearing it to carry a big jacket when it was cold but went back to stuffing the pockets with layers.

If it's chilly, I often carry an empty wide mouth water bottle to cram tights, arm warmers or anything else I can force in there. Where I live, a single 550ml water bottle will carry you to the next water stop on almost any ride. Makes that second water bottle cage a handy storage location.
You may even be old enough to have had pockets on the fronts of your jerseys!

You don't get excited by a freshly roasted bag? Where's the excitement in your life, geez?

I like the look of a clutter free seatpost and handlebars, but I feel safer with the Varia and the taillight on the back and a flashie light in front, and as long as I have the Varia it needs to display someplace so I have a head unit, too. And I could forgo a saddle bag, but I'd have to stash the same volume - and mass - of that stuff in my jersey pockets, and frankly, that looks worse to me than a small, neat saddle bag.
EDIT: And from the saddle, I can't see it anyway. Stuff in my jersey pockets, I can feel.

My jerseys were wool, shorts too, but my pockets were in the back until I rode low racers.
