Yep. Beautiful bike, and I've enjoyed all your posts on building it, from 
frame to crank to this.

For what it's worth, I just got a pair of Swift mini roll tops and they are 
fantastic. Well made, thoughtful, and the funky colors are just super. If 
not Swift, then Ruthworks. And if not Ruthworks, there is an odd video on 
Vimeo <http://vimeo.com/87633115> of RivHQ testing out some smashing front 
Sackville low-riderish (-panniers-) wheel sacks, implying that they'll be 
out in a few months.
