Offspring seem more forgiving of our taping failures than we are. My son was
delighted with this wrap on a Quickbeam I built for him; I thought it looked
terrible, but he gets positive comments all the time (or so he says; perhaps
he's just stroking the old man).
Lower/second set of bars like the Tubus Cosmo - a great rack. Only downside is
that the platform needs to be narrower, making it somewhat less than ideal for
trunk bags on the rear. Really great for panniers + saddlebag, though.
