Finally buying the new bike -- but where?

[Sky King]

Both are great options and I had to attach these photos as I am sure it will bring a smile to your face. I have ridden with a Frost River gunflint on the front of my ecr (although not this trip, this is an Ostrich) The Bike Hermit always has his Frost River Gunflint. You can see I also have a Revelate Pika Happy to give you ideas when you are ready

Thanks, SkyKing! I'm really looking forward to this purchase, and will be entertaining myself for the next six weeks by planning out every variable of riding that I can think of. I was looking at the Revelate bags, but found myself drawn more to the Frost River bags. Do you think they compare favorably?
