Take a look at my GTR in various stages of dress for gear carrying. The
panniers and racktop bag are arkel. The Tailrider and GT-60's. And it's
a BOB trailer. Make sure on the BOB that you can come up with a method
to hitch it, newer 3 speed rear hubs are a problem that way. But there
are BOB nutz available for my 3X7 hub.

I also use smaller panniers for just local rides. Originally I built
them as front panniers for my touring upright.
