Thanks for the replys guys. I will do more reading on the subject of fit, especially since I dont know much about it. I don't really understand the difference between a touring bike and a road bike still... like I know a touring bike should be stronger, but doesn't that suggest a regular road bike would break on a long trip?

I went to a bike store yesterday and he suggested a Fiori Napoli that they had there. Forgot to look at the price. Gonna go to another store today or tommorow.

Should I buy this pannier? Looks like a lot of space and not expensive. Also water resistant.
