Do you have some old panniers that are in decent shape but you haven't used in a while?
I am looking for some panniers to get my self started with bicycle commuting. (12 miles one way) My wife says that I can't buy the bags from anywhere right now. If someone would trade me something for the bags I would really appreciate it. I think I want to get a set of bags for my rack. I think I can get a set of Louis Garneau beta bb_46 rear panniers for $45 from performance. Is that a good deal? what do you think?

update bought the panniers and well attempt my first bike commute tomorrow morning!
