This experience has gotten me dramatically re-thinking backpacks. However...I can't see myself heading down the 60L backpack game. Yes, lots of weight on the bike sucks for certain things, but I've been surprised at how little I notice it in other respects. I think there's a good balance somewhere between weight on the body and weight on the bike, though. Glad to hear from your experience that I can probably deal with more weight on my body than I think I can.
