I've got a bit of a tour coming up, and I was hoping to take my soul, but obviously no pannier mounts on it.
Any recommendations on a pannier? I guess I have to get one that attaches only on the seatpost? Are there any that clamp around the seat stays too?
Thanks
Z.
P-clamps worked for me!

You need an Old Man Mountain rack, which you can get from Carradice. It attaches through the rear squewer and either v bake bosses or P clamps, which is what you'll need. They are strong, reliable, adaptable and rightly have a good reputation. I have a pair of their Cold Springs racks, and they're ace.
I've seen seat clamps that will accept a rear rack fitting if you don't want p-clips like this

Carradice SQR Trax, tour or slim - 16litre lots of room, though you do need sufficent clearance above tyre
trax
or just got for a 'proper' carradice saddle bag - to do some massive ones plus you save the cost of the rack
lots on here

Thanks guys,
Those Carradice saddle bags look like they would foul on your legs, I guess they must be ok though.
Was hoping to get something I could use with my current pannier bags, but that looks unlikely, Will do some exploring!
Thanks

Zukemonster, if you're after some of those 'P' clips, gimme a shout. I've got some you can have.
Look at teh tubus racks as well - p0lenty of different fixings available for frames without mounts
