I ran a shop for ten years. Not bemoaning others' co-op of Riv-esqueness,

Thanks, all!
I've got one nagging detail to resolve before I can commit, and it isn't
the lovely Mrs. Pondero who has already endorsed this project. Hopefully,
I can get that done today and be one step closer to an Atlantis in my

Berthoud still makes a nice mid fork rack. Not as snazzy looking as the
VO, but better quality IMO.

The welds are not very smooth, visible in Soma's photo. The rack also sits
high above the wheel/fender. As it's not adjustable, there's not much to do
about that. I ended up using it with p-clamps on another bike and had to
install the fork crown strut upside down and bent around to get a

I actually really like this rack. It's stiffer than a Mark's rack, but
still has an adjustable strut to the fork crown. The strut is
well-designed, to avoid interference with the fork crown race. And it's the
ideal rack for a bike with 38mm 700 C tires (i.e. Barlow Pass, Ocean

I've got one that I would trade you if yours is 26.0. Mine's nitto
technomic 80mm with 26.0 clamp.I'm not sure if it is the super tall
variety, so if you want tons of height then this might not suit you. But
it's definitely taller than most stems.

looseness. Mud is the worst for corrosion. A reasonable cleaning schedule
with Boeshield will limit any problems from corrosion.

I'll add that the Soma works just fine once setup.
My comments about the finish might've come off too harsh. It's a nice rack, but
it's as expensive (or more) than similar Nitto racks which have a more refined
finish.

If you get the VO, since it's stainless, you can easily have a local welder

the chrome plating and future rusting.

I second Patrick on the Albastache, definitely consider those. I like them
