Pannier Rack for a Giant SCR 3

[IJCymru]

I am currently looking for a good pannier for my SCR 3 and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

I have done some research with little results, I even asked at my local bike shop and so far they do not have any and have none to suggest.

I appreciate any suggestions

Well first, I wouldn't start from here.
But if you're going to, you can buy plastic coated steel brackets called p-clips that attach to your chainstays, and will allow you to mount a pannier. Watch the weight, though.
Failing that, a Carradice saddlebag. Don't laugh! They weigh less than a rack and panniers, and work well - they've been making them since the thirties for a reason.

SCR's have the mounts on them for racks front and back.
I would of thought that most racks would fit on them.
The bits for the rack to bolt into on the frame are those little black things, they come out and you bolt the rack onto there.
You have the other ones on the dropout(not little black plastic things but the holes)
No need for p-clips.

yeah I thought that was the case but the people in the bike shop said otherwise. They are awful in there so I am gonna cycle to the next town and see what they say in their bike shop.

Thanks for your help
