This is a traditional-style Porteur rack as used on the famous Parisian newspaper delivery bikes. The platform is about 36cm x 29cm and it fits 700c, 26", and 650b bikes. A rail is included to prevent loose loads from sliding off.
All bits are made from stainless steel: rack, rail, heavy duty strut, connecting hardware. We are very impressed with the flawless welding and polishing- and we hope you are too. We pre-drilled the lower mounting tangs- there are 3 holes for fitting most 27", 700c, 650b, and even 26" wheel forks. Ideal placement is with the rack sitting as low as possible, right on the fender, improving both looks and handling.
It attaches to the brake pivot bolt with the included connecting strut. If your bike has the luxury of dual dropout eyelets, use the front. If there are only rear eyelets, a couple spacers between the tang and fork blade make for a cleaner look.
