[RBW] Rivendell / VO Randonneur Front Rack with Decaleur compatibility? -- also, trade me? (FT)

1) They don't line up.  VO chose not to go with the Nitto spec. It's annoying
2) Many folks have expressed displeasure with the longevity and performance of 
those integrated racks/decaleur combos. I have no opinion but it's out there.

[RBW] Rivendell / VO Randonneur Front Rack with Decaleur compatibility? -- also, trade me? (FT)

[Patch T]

Hey Bunch,

Currently I have a Nitto 32F Mini Front Rack on my Quickbeam, it's great, 
but I would like to carry a Med size Swift Ozette.

Does anyone know if the legs on the VO Randonneur Rack 

 line 
up well with the mid-fork tabs on the orange Quickbeams? VO website says 
3.75" below the bottom of the fork crown, but I'm seeing about 3.5" from 
the top of the tabs to the bottom of the fork crown on my QB, and of course 
slightly more if I measure from the center of the tabs.

Yes I could get the Pass Hunter and mount to cantis; yes I could just get a 
fork-mount decaleur and keep my current rack. But I want to use the tabs bc 
they're there, goshdarn, and I'd prefer the whole set up be one piece 
rather than two.

Lastly, say this works, and perhaps I'll just start a new thread, but does 
anyone want to trade me for my Nitto 32F? Or for a used Mark's Rack I have 
as well?

Thanks!

Love,
Patch
