Nf-From: acf4!vxl5382 May 17 14:49:00 1984 <broken glass> 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. Vlad Lanin NYU 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. -- Thanks, Bruce Peters AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, Ill. ...!ihnp4!ihldt!bnp
