Anyone? I was looking around for a modern version of the Dutch throw
over basic pannier, and these *look* pretty darn cool:

Well, I sold off my last spare bike and filled up the cycling kitty
and made an order.
Got
Knog Panniers
MKS Sylvan touring pedals
and from Nashbar:
Rear rack
front platform rack that mounts to brake studs
Add to that the Freddy Fenders hanging in the garage, and my Kona
that's coming next week, and I should end up with a spectacular city
ride for under $600.
It's like Yule, but without the Jebus!
I'll post a piccie and a review when I've used the panniers a bit.

Common in Europe, too--it's so weird that bike shops here don't sell
basic throwovers like everybody and their momma has there. I got my
grandpap some in the 80s that were plaid with a matching plaid
thermos--now that is stylin'! Regular panniers work OK, but are
awkward off the bike, these guys just have a handle in the middle, so
pick em up and look like you're carrying luggage.

Research shows that they're 16L, so pretty good size! Might order them
up tomorrow.
They also got these Axiom bags, that are actually closer to what ya
see in northern Europe:

Same size, and cheep! But a bit boring. But simple and black. I'll
have to flip a coin. ;-P

Decent utilitarian panniers for under 30? Can't beat that. Less likely to
get stolen too. I'm going to get me these and replace the plastic milkcrate
I've got ziptied to the back of my commuter beater. Nice find.

They look *exceptionally* cool. And reasonably priced. So post a
review when you get them! I'd like to know if they've got room for
the stuff I carry to/from work, with the occasional grocery stop
thrown in!

I haven't owned proper panniers in ten years. I do have the hoogest
Timbuk2 bag from back when I messengered. The company said give us our
bag or we'll withhold your last check. So I told them to keep the
$50. ;-)
I'll probably get them, as they look fun and simple. I just don't want
any of those horrible serious Mennonite panniers that people use for
long tours.

Those things pretty cool. They sort of look like the pannier-version
of the Timbuk2 messenger bag.
Do you own panniers yourself?
