Do you have pictures, on and off the bike?
Me, I like some of the stuff-sack/drybag conversions on the ultralight thread. I have nice old canvas Wilderness Equipment front and rear panniers but I won't take them on a serious trip again - too heavy! Arkel have just put out UL panniers which might be good.
