Thanks guys, it was super fun riding and hanging with you all. There's already talk of a possible San Diego ride and Hugh and I are planning a little LA exploration ride if anyone else is interested.
Pannier ramble: After a debating endlessly between Sackville & Swift, I stumbled on the Carsick designs. They had one set of waxed green canvas in stock & the price was right so I jumped on it. Before purchasing these panniers I made an inquiry with Monica and Brian about possible custom color options. If you are willing to be patient, they're happy to work with you on a more custom color as long as it is available from their canvas provider. Brian also mentioned it would be possible to make a more custom bag- so I believe you could specify the dimensions and they'd make it. These panniers feature Carsick is developing some interesting frame and handlebar bags in a wide range of colors (even camo and tie-dye!), and pretty soon they will have a new website that shows off more of their products. Check out their flickr page<http://www.flickr.com/photos/stop_lying_to_me/> in the meantime. Deacon, I've never seen the Sackville Panniers in person but I figure the material is the same as on my Slickersack. The waxed canvas on these panniers is pretty beefy, but slightly less "cushiony" (for lack of a better adj.) than my Slickersack. This was my first ride with the panniers and they were super; I can't say how they would perform in rain and snow because I live in Southern California! Overall super happy with them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
