	It would be really nice if you included all kinds of panniers in this
survey, including ones for loaded long-range touring. If it's not widening
the topic too much, it would be great to hear about handlebar bags too.

P.S. I am not sure if I'll be on the net much longer, so mailing the respon-
ses to me will NOT work. sorry.

(Why am I here?)

	I am interested in collecting information on panniers.
The application would be primarily weekend and short touring
trips.  These will be purchased for a club and will be available
to all members, so I am interested in obtaining the best overall
value rather than something with all sorts of "bells and whistles".
	If you have general background information (fabrics, anchoring
systems, racks, etc.) or specific recommendations ("I'm real happy
with ***." or "Avoid ***." or "Buy them from ***."), I would appreciate
hearing from you.
	I think I recall a similar discussion in the early days
of net.bicycle, so I would ask that you respond by mail and allow me
to post a summary when the input is complete.
