Just a note to say if you are the owner of any of these pictures I've found on the internet. Just let me know and I will either remove or credit you. Thanks.

Those are not very ambitious panniers on the Lapebie Dural ..super-minimalist touring!

I've often wondered about these.....I think being aluminium with speed and the resulting airflow over them they'd be ideal for keeping cheese like camembert and brie quite fresh! So maybe there not actually panniers!?
