SBC now has two different inexpensive Blackburn panniers in stock. I picked mine up last week, and they're awesome. They have reflective blocks so that cars can see me on my commute on Reservoir St. After I set them up properly the first time, they are quick & easy to install each morning. And they hold a lot of gear-- my laptop, lunch, dinner, change of clothes, purse, & notebooks -- without a problem. To be fair, they're no name-brand Arkel pannier.... but they get my commute done hassle-free twice every day.
