Being short, I tend not to have enough clearange between the rack & hte saddle seat to do much with a basket or a bag. I get the heel clipping on panniers, but made myself some using some tool bags from home depot, that are much shorter than normal panniers, so I don't get the heel clipping...

Wow, thank you for your thoughtful replies. I am definitely up for finding something used on CL or ebay. This does not have to be the bike to end all bikes (that was the road bike, ahem) but it just has to do what I need it to.
I will look at the Jamis and 520s.
Catriona - I have never ridden with panniers but I see your point. Thanks for the heads up.
This bike-buying stuff is fun.
