This is so goofy looking, but I kinda love it. The dude took the trend of using all the space above the low-slung top tubes for storage, and used all of it.
I can’t stand the rectangular bags I’m seeing on Pukepacking race rig articles, the aesthetics bug me - this one is so over the top that it goes back around to idiosyncratic mad scientist vibes. The matter-of-fact German accent seals it.
