    Guys , guys,


    Ferget about Touratwatty etc, make your own !!!

    I did, bits of 2mm aluminium and a handful of rivets, shaped to form panniers "roughly" the same size as the aforementioned company.

    The dearest part being the hanger pucks and the locks.
    Give it a go, if a numpty like me can do it, anybody can.

    Isn't "talented numpty" an oxymoron?

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?
