Allit Panniers (cheap alternative)

[Shaggy33]

Saw these panniers on ebay starting at £99 and wondered if anyone knew where to get suitable rack for fitting them onto.
Checked the XRV link but couldn't find the answer

Cheers

I saw a couple of months ago these Allit boxes on a hardware store here in Bucharest (the store is Hornbach) and of course in the first second I thought (just like you) I could get myself a nice a "Zega like" panniers set for well under 100 Euros. In fact are made from relatively thin and cheap tin and they are not water tight and at a close inspection I didn't liked much but this is only my opinion. I think they are ok but only for what is their purpose: to store things in a storage place not to be carried with 100 km/h on a bumpy road.

They look wide (they're 11" versions) but because Vern's frames are such a tight fit to the bike, they're no wider than the bars. Not as cheap as some of 'tinny' options but you can see where the money has gone - the design and build are worth the difference (in my opinion).

Don't need a tent or B & B at the other end either you can live in one then let the other out for £500.00 per month to pay for food & petrol, smart investment.

You have to watch out for Eastern European stowaways at ferry ports though.

Yes but you would soon notice the imbalance unless they had evened it up of course, half a dozen in each.
