Welcome, and fantastic bike. First thing that popped into my mind when I looked at the profile shot was how incredible the space between the rack and saddle for a saddle bag. Or even just bags in general all over this bike, or the creativity one could explore with down tube or under tube shifter mounts.
Have fun with it, looks like plenty of range to explore in the background too, and keep the pictures coming.
