Set of 4 panniers that are truly like new. The T-42's that saw one weekend trip on my Homer Hilsen. One T-28 has been used more but still could pass for a store display. The mate is virtually unused. Paying college 2 tuitions now; 'nuff said. If you're familiar with Arkel, you know they're

I rather miss my medium saddlebag after a brief flirtation with other bags. Will buy your medium blue or tan bag. Also interested in a Barsack and nitto rack, if you have one to sell. I have a flawless Arkel handlebar bag for sale, in classic black, if interested. My touring days aren't at

My Hilsen needs a new 1 inch threaded headset because I apparently rode with it too loose for the past 5 years and damaged the race, according to trusted LBS. The headset came with the frame I purchased from Rivendell and LBS could't determine what brand it is. Something cheap, I'm sure. I

All items still available. Answers to some questions: The Loyal Designs bag is nearly identical in size to the 10 liter Gilles Berthoud GB25. It doesn't require a decaleur due to the bottom straps/strap holders which Berthoud strangely omits. The Nigel Smythe bag fits the exact dimension of
