I'll second Eric's suggestions. Lots of folks use home brew bikepacking
setups. Try lashing the sleeping bag in a stuffsack to the saddle rails
and seatpost. Lash the tent in its stuff sack to the underside of the

Yes entirely doable. As a teen a friend of mine and his father would

If you're using a 9- speed chain and friction shifting, can you also use a

I'm not sure that it does--wasn't the Atlantis always meant as a loaded
