Some friends and i are cycling lands end to John o groats. I have bought a Fausto Coppi San Remo to do it on as i thought afterwards i would get more use out of a racer than a touring bike. I was wandering what the consequences would be of putting panniers on a racer? Obviously i dont expect it to perform like a raceing bike when loaded up to the gunnels but at the same time i do not want to damage it. I have looked at carradice saddlebags but where i can i would like to avoid expenses and panniers seem to be both cheaper and able to hold more luggage.
Any ideas would be very much appriciated.
Thankyou
Johnny
