on the back of mine here is a Carradice Super-C: <http://www.web-options.com/Sunnydene/content/images/large/_8167523.jpg> with a bit of judicious packing it can take enough to credit-card tour for any length of time. With a Domke F5-XB strapped to the bars you can also be a photographer. The only thing about photography while touring is that you need to be careful to prop the bike upright when you get off to take a picture, otherwise if you lay it flat stuff may fall out of your bag and be lost.
