Hi all,

I'm considering buying a Rose Pro SL-1000 for a cycling holiday I'm planning - Granada to Seville.

Does anyone know if it's possible to mount panniers on one?

Cheers.

    I would imagine it is possible but the frame itself doesn't seem to have any mounting points for a rack (assuming you are looking at rear panniers). You can get frames that fit between the rear skewer and the frame (you need a special long skewer for this I think) and you can get, as I have, a seat clamp with a lug on it for attaching the top of the rack to, Like this:

    or this:

    Some racks have a collar you can put around your seatpost as well. There's loads of different racks out there and I'm sure there will be one to suit you.

    why panniers? have you thought about a frame bag/saddle bag/handlebar bag sort of setup? if I was doing something like that I'd definitely try & get away with that sort of setup instead

    If your heart is set on the Rose then use bikepacking bags, don't mess around with racks that clamp onto your seatpost. If bikepacking bags don't give you enough room, then go with a bike that can fit a proper rack and panniers.
