Basically, I know very little about cycling apart from which way to get on my bike!

I have a Giant CRS0 XL 23" frame, and I want a rear luggage shelf with a bag that fits over the rear wheel. I do not need the side bags, but if there is a modular system out there that allows me to add them later, then that would be great! I hate wearing a rucksack / daysack on the bike, so travel too light to go and get something to bring it back. I have a small bag under the crossbar that basically holds innertubes and a couple of levers, not much room to get much in!

I would like a rigid / canvas bag that straps to it as well. Not wanting to spend stupid amounts of money, but an absolute maximum of £100 for the right set!

So, please, recommend away!

The bike is:

Thanks! The MTX looks ideal! Loads of space.

Does it matter what rack you buy? Mine is a fixed frame, so no need for springs? Just want to make sure I don't have to sent it back once bought :D.
 
Bought the bag and the rack.

One size fits all my arse. The bolts supplied are M5, my bike requires M4. I do not happen to have any here. Oh well. Going to order up some stainless ones now.

Good bags, love the mounting system as well, very easy to use!

Cheers for the recommendation!
