Haha, it's so very hard to grasp my mind around the fact that it can be so warm on one part of the globe, when here where I am, today it was the exact opposite side of the 0 at about -38.. I do belive something like -45oC with windchill.
Even though I actually would rather a -38 than 38 strangly enough. Ur still lucky. Wish I could ride

Hey Oz, I am thinking of buying some andy straps panniers from over there. I have heard that they are excellent. Is the company anywhere near where you live?

We can buy that stuff locally. I believe the guys are based in Victoria though.

Thanks, I emailed Andy, he said the shipping would be about 70 oz bucks. I am not sure what the duty for Australian goods into Canada is. I will check it out.

So, the panniers are $330 A$, the AA Bag is 180 A$ shipping is 70A$ plus whatever the duty is 680A$. That is about 560 C$ Thats a lot of cash for bags.
