Being Canadian, I pronounce it PAN-EE-EH, with a big emphasis on th>my ip birthday wishes tneb , eh! Seriously, I use a Delta rack and Pannier, and they work very well. Much more sturdy than other models. Attaches to the seat post.

Sheldon Brown and John Allen would probably agree! Here's what they had to say about the pronunciation of another (originally) French bicycle-related term: DERAILLEUR.

In airplanes, the Wrights spent the first ten years of aviation suing anyone who dared to make an airplane, which is why we use words like fuselage and aileron. How, given the C&V bike boom obsession with Italian racing bikes, did we wind up with so many French words in cycling?
