Rack trunk - cheap!
4 individual velcro straps wrap around the rack top rails and fasten to the corresponding strips on the sides of the bag. This mounts far more easily then bags with straps which fasten beneath the bag (and rack top). It also will attach more easily when pannier hooks are resting on the top side rails.
www.nashbar.com is a typical online US vendor, selling mainly new modern components and cycling clothing. Their bargain items are great and worth both looking and waiting for... plus they frequently offer additional discounts on your entire order. The rear rack shown here I had purchased on sale for $10 (was $30) the bag $13 (was $25) Zefal pump $30 (was $40) and additional discounts had essentially wiped out any shipping fees.
By selectively shopping and buying in advance some items which I know I will likely use later, I can afford (or at least justify) the more expensive and extravagant items - such as the stainless steel water bottles and the Honjo alloy fenders also used on this bike.
