More happy Arkel owners
LeeBob and I each own a full set of front & back panniers, which we used on our tour around the Puget Sound a few years back. Maybe someday we'll get some more use out of them
although I do use my small front panniers a lot for commuting and errands.
Mine I got off eBay, and Lee purchased his new, directly from Arkel. (I don't remember if Lee had any bonding experiences with Yves.)
Excellent workmanship.
