A note of caution on the Cypress: When using any sort of panniers on my Cypress DX, I have heel-strike issues. To solve the problem, I use an expedition-length rack, like the Jandd Expedition, so the panniers can be mounted further towards the rear, out of the heel zone.

On sale right now at $20 each. I've seen them as low as $18 each. When I got mine last year, they even came with raincovers. Doesn't say anything about them now, so maybe they're not included any more. Not that you'd have need for them in sunny SD...
