[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 123477, member: 456"] Thinking aloud here Peter, rather than speaking from experience but if I was to do this my method would be to braze or weld two short lengths of thick walled steel tube to the rear of the 'D' rear down tubes. The panniers would have two spikes, one longer than the other, on the front of the pannier from which would slot into the two tubes. The reason for the spikes being of different lengths would be to allow one spike to enter before the other so that one was not struggling to get four spikes to enter four tubes at the same time. This would give plenty of for and aft stability but one would have to ensure that the top of the pannier frame was rigid enough to prevent lozenging. The whole thing could be taken off or put on in one piece and if there was any danger of loss or theft then something could be designed into the spikes that would prevent removal without tools.
