WTB silver Front Rack
Need a front rack in silver for my Townie build. I've already found a rear rack.
Bike fork has eyelets but NO mid fork mounts.
A front rack that engages the eyelets and the fork brake hole would be nice.
What have you got.
Trying to keep the cost down
PM me with possibilities
.
thanks,
Rick

I’ve got a Velo Orange Porteur rack that is in like new condition. Shipping may be a bit expensive as the rack doesn’t really break down; legs and rack are welded together.
PM if interested and we can talk.

I put this rack on my Ross Eurotour and it looks lovely. Yeah, it’s heavy, but it’s chrome and $40. I cut off the cup holder though, kind of useless.

Are those cranks Sugino RTs? Did they wear out so you had to flip it around? I noticed the sweep doesn’t follow the angle of the crank arms.

I took them apart to clean them, and in my haste re-assembled the opposite way.
Thanks for pointing that out @mountaindave
