Again possibly another dumb question.

In May im going to france riding for a week and then at end of june im doing john-o'groats to landsend, panniers are obviously gonna be a must for the LEJOG run,

Originally i was gonna get an Evo8 then a Big Sur then a Rock Lobster and now cos i need to get as much as i can within a budget of £1000 im looking at the Malt4 + extras like stronger spokes and larger rotors and panniers, Does anyone know if the Malt4 (or any of the other bikes noted) have the lugs for panniers on the frame and forks. the last time i fitted panniers was about 17 years ago when my dad used to make me do the weekly shopping on his old Peugeot and ive no idea if im setting my heart on a bike or bikes that are not gonna be suitable for my needs

Do panniers have universal fittings?

Will the bike have the fitment lugs on the frame n forks?

I have no idea on this or even what
I found it hard, its was hard to find, oh well whatever nevermind.

    you need to find one with 2 little screws at the top of the seatstays and 2 little threads at the dropouts. Or for the front theres just 2 little screws on the forks, but front ones arent really necessary.
