Loose cog Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Hi, A shot in the dark, but I'm looking for a front or rear rack for an old steel frame that I'd like to do some light touring with. The frame has eyelets on the front and rear for compatibility with some rack mounts, and I'm sure there must be some old, unused racks floating around, but haven't had any luck yet sourcing one yet. Cheers! How about this one, it's certainly retro ........ HeyYou and Kenty 2

Fat Boab Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 It doesn't have to be an old one, but the only new one I can find locally is the Thule Pack 'n Pedal, which has a very 'plastic' look - I guess the preference is towards a more traditional look - the Bruce Gordon as a high-end example: http://www.bgcycles.com/new-page-14/. Otherwise JANDD and Topeak seem to make some affordable racks, might try to order one of those if I don't have any luck finding something locally. Grant at Cycletouring has some nice racks - front and rear....http://www.cycletouring.co.za/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_11 And Buycycle have the Topeak ones....http://www.buycycle.co.za/en/accessories/on-the-bike/carriers.html
danfuterman Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks for all the links and suggestions. I managed to salvage two rear racks from the scrap metal bin at Whippet Cycles.A few new bolts and bungee straps and it should be good to go.@Loose cog - not as much rust as your suggestion, but it'll do for now Kenty, Loose cog and DJR 3

Dont you have the holes in the frame?
Eddy Gordo Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 U get these http://www.evanscycles.com/products/zefal/gizmo-universal-bottle-cage-attachment-ec038010 Not sure who will stock them locally though

U get these http://www.evanscycles.com/products/zefal/gizmo-universal-bottle-cage-attachment-ec038010 Not sure who will stock them locally though The frame only has space to mount a single bottle cage on the down tube. Thanks, I've been looking for some of those universal attachments, haven't seen any locally. The electric tape technique has been working well, but doesn't look great.

HeyYou Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I see you having a problem mounting your water bottle. Dont you have the holes in the frame? Cable ties work a treat and don't look nearly as clunky!!!!
HeartCoppi Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) OK, so I'm a bit left brain challenged, that's why I need your help! White, black or yellow cable housing for the Tommo??????? My taste runs to white, but maybe that's too bland. Appreciate suggestions.navy blue? superb frame. Edited October 14, 2015 by HeartCoppi

Best option is to do the job properly with rivnuts, and then it'll be as good as if the frame had them originally HeyYou and danfuterman 2
