There is also the factor of what you get used to. Someone who rides
700c all the time, gets on a 26 inch wheel road bike, geometry

Well, I've decided to eliminate (or minimize) the color issue and run the
largest Gilles Berthoud 372 panniers in gray up front with a matching gray
saddlebag. I may eventually palp a matching GB handlebar bag, but only after
switching to drops.
Thanks again for your help.

Of course there are the Nifty Swiftys and Fasty Maxis, which are
slightly cheaper than Pari Motos. I'm running Niftys on my Bleriot

duh on my part...sorry folks (will provide the rims and tires I'm
