Now my old Peugeot is sporting a rack and some sweet old H. W. Carradice saddlebags. Also I can get the baby seat on - so the little dude is psyched. Thanks for the tip!

I have a pair of beautiful army surplus rucksacks to put on it, waterproof and very strong. thanks for this, I am a complete cycling noob, found you via a google search as I am trying to adapt my recently aquired but old bike (Dawes Shadow) to take panniers.

I then got a small file to round off the sharp edges and used a screwdriver to press the clipped part as flat as possible. The whole thing is ugly and tacky - excellent!

In any hardware store/big-box DIY store (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.) that carries them, just look for the aisle that has all the nuts/bolts/screws bins and they are usually located in the "specialty fasteners" bins.
