I wondered whose idea it was to put indents into the panniers. That 
kind of form over function isn't needed.

It sounds like maybe they were listening to owners when it came to 
the new design, with the exception of the design itself. I like the 
triple underseat if it works well, and the front view looks ok, but 
the rest of it is just another variation on the latest fad. I think 
the latest generation of industrial designers need to get their hands 
dirty with clay and stop designing everything on the computer.
