Highcamp 4800 with standard lid. Good condition. Comes with the original K-clips and I have some black 1" webbing buckles en-route from ripstopbytheroll. Still waiting on delivery of the buckles - I'll mail them separately if they don't get here before the bag sells.

Catch and release - Wolf grey Kifaru Markhor. Excellent condition. Comes with chamber pocket. All straps and buckles included, with velcro strap ties..
Foliage Longhunter lid with the straps cut off. Works great as a day bag by using the one of markhor detachable straps as a shoulder strap. Lid...
I have a setup very much like yours (MSR dromedary -> hose -> sawyer squeeze). I don't have a shut off valve though. To stop the flow of water, I just tuck the filter back up into the MSR webbing so it's higher than the bottom of the bag. I usually fill from lakes and hang the bag on a branch...
Just weighed it today at a postal store. Grey 26" duplex light with long shoulder straps and small belt weighs 3lbs 7oz. The 24" bikini with small belt weighed 2lbs 6oz.
If you haven't found a frame yet I just listed a 24" with small belt FS https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/kifaru-bikini-frame-24-small-belt-black.140007/

Composite stays, single row pals on belt. I switched to a 26" frame. Would trade for a wolf gray markor, tahr, highcamp 4800, or sheep tarp. Paypal preferred. Asking $150+shipping.
Your belt looks like it might be above your hipbone. I agree with Marble about the order in which I tighten everything down every time I put my pack on.
Re kdelarye: I considered that my bikini was a 22" for a moment too but measuring proves otherwise (sitting the frame upright on the floor and measuring to the top yields a smidge over 24").
I took the new 26" on some training hikes and found it to be pretty comfortable and the long straps work...
My previous frame was a 24” bikini with small belt. I was pretty happy with the bikini but felt like the stays were too short, thus the upgrade to a 26” frame.
My 26” lite frame arrived yesterday and I took some time to play around with the fit.
A couple of observations.
