A couple years ago I picked up a nearly new pair of rear Cannondale Overland panniers at a swap meet for cheap. Have not used them yet, but when I saw them I had to buy them. Before I left the swap meet, I had several offers from others for them. If I do a credit card tour some day, I might use the Cannondales.
when you do, don't forget your short shorts, headband, addidas socks and sleeveless shirt. Oh and some aviator sunglasses.
in for a penny, in for a pound.
morning btw
