Those panniers look fantastic (to me), and inexpensive (to me). Thanks for the link! I especially like the wedge-shaped "Elinor" style.

Philip -- I haven't seen these panniers in person, but friends of mine have bought them and liked them. The owner/entrepreneur is a good guy -- runs our local bike lending library here in Iowa City. Another alternative for MUSA panniers! -- Forrest On Mar 21, 11:18 am, Philip Williamson wrote: > Those panniers look fantastic (to me), and inexpensive (to me). Thanks > for the link!

There's a pair of Elinor prototypes on eBay right (#130502765078). I just won a pair of black Ironweed Alyce panniers and they cam yesterday. I haven't mounted them up yet, but I'm using one today as a man bag since I had a lot of stuff to schlep to work today and it's very nice. I don't have a lot of experience with bike bags, but I can say the workpersonship is excellent. No complaints here.
