WTB Old school Cannondale panniers
I don't tour a lot, so I don't need anything too fancy, but always loved the Cannondale stuff. Does anyone have any old Cannondale panniers that might be gotten reasonably inexpensive ?

Still learning
Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. Bought a Super Course just to get the Cannondale bags! The bike is pristine as is the luggage.

I have a set of large rear black panniers and a handlebar bag with decauler. PM me what you're looking to spend.

That's really more than I need, but looks great. Are these your's? How much?

What are you looking for???
Cannondale bags came in many different colors and sizes. Basic rears, rears w/ extra pockets, fronts, various seat bags, various size handlebar bags... IIRC, they came in Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Black and < maybe > green? It took me a while to find another set in yellow like I had back in the '70s.
Several other brands had similar bags/panniers back then, also. Kirtland, Rhode Gear, Eclipse,...

I have a pair of well used, but still quite functional blue rear Cannondale panniers. They were gifted to me from a board member, so they are yours for the price of shipping and a box. PM me your email and I can send pics.

Still hoping to get some pictures from some of you. If I've messed something up somewhere, I apologize. My trip is the first weekend in October, so hope to have this figured out by then. There has been some very gracious offers. Hoping to see pictures

Cougrrcj, Those look great. Do you think they'll come clean with some work? How much?

I have had pretty good luck with removing all the hardware and tossing them in the washing machine. I've done this with many different camera bags, backpacks, and bike bags and had them come out looking like new. Nylon usually doesn't hold stains.

Sorry for the delay. Here are mine. One has a handle/strap than needs reattaching, and one has a repaired seam in the back. Otherwise perfectly functional. Free to good home for the price of shipping.

I've used a number of panniers over the years, and the Cannondale "classic" were the best I ever found.
Now that I'm back into bicycling, I'd been looking for a set to hang on my Trek full-suspension. I found them today, in blue. Both rears and both fronts, good condition but need washing, I paid $40.

I bought them a couple of years ago, and I never used them because I found a set in yellow like I really wanted.

Thanks to all who responded. I was able to get a grey NOS Cannondale Handlebar bag on eBay and got a matching grey set of panniers from a member here. Thanks cougrrcj. As the trip gets closer, I'll get it set up and try and post pictures.

For anyone's future reference, those "classic" C'dale rear panniers are called "Overlands." They were pretty much the gold standard back in the day, along with bags by Eclipse. I still have a set of red Overlands in my garage that I just can't seem to part with, although I never use them anymore (I've gone Eurotrash with Ortliebs :-).

The silver/gray Cannondales cleaned up rather well. I followed @Pompiere 's suggestion by taking them apart and throwing them in the wash. They were a bugger to put back together though!

I just spent the past 9 days at the National Championship Air Races (Reno, NV), using the panniers to carry everything from first aid stuff to radio batteries to munchies to the rainjacket that I didn't need . . .10 seconds each to mount in the morning, 5 to unmount in the evening.
