I love that pannier frame assembly with the drop-down base. I'd love to get something like that on my 2016 battle green. Has anyone ever seen anything like that anywhere for sale? I might have to see if I can get someone to fabricate one for me locally. Ace. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks WD/CO. I got a really nice pair of 1953 issue canvas panniers from my son for my birthday this year, so just need to find the frames. I have found the kind of 'standard' army pannier frames, that can take the tin boxes or canvas bags. They are now doing these to fit the C5 classic EFI (e.g. http://ebay.eu/2nrXgvj), which is cool. But I can't find anything quite like these fold-down ones. Do you know what they are called, or what I should search for? Tom.
