I got a second hand Burley Nomad that was as new but half price of new. In August 2010 I toured 14 days and 1000 kms with it, and found no problems.
I have, but the $400 pricetag for a BOB Ibex is a turnoff. :/ However, a good set of Ortliebs will run me about $300 for fronts and backs anyways...I dunno, it's a possibility.
