So im using a 5L saddle bag for my commute to work on my infinito with a X1 U lock inside towards the very front of the bag and some clothes and a towel. It has some weight to kt mainly the lock (3.7Lbs). The bag has 3 points of harnessing and my seat rails and seat post is metal. Is this ok on the frame or should i carry a back pack.

The bike doesn’t care if the weight is on your back or on the rack.
Hella Celeste!
A well appointed Bianchi road bike in Celeste is timeless. There is an example from every decade since 1950 that I would be proud to ride. This bike will still look great in 30 years.
Way to take up half the rack…
I wouldn’t lock that bike outside.. the front wheel isn’t even locked
I’d never lock that bike up outside like that. Where I’m from everything on that bike that can be removed would be gone when I got back
That’s a water bottle sir!
Just remember painted carbon fibre doesn’t generally like hard things touching it, your frame will sustain surface damage very easily, albeit superficial.
