Re: [RBW] Re: Mark's/M18 failures?

I think one of the problems here is that the Mark's Rack was originally designed to support a porteur bag with a handlebar attachment. My very vague memory is that Riv was selling Berthoud bags then; my Romulus had that rack supporting one. The rack has also been presented as a saddlebag

I was there. Grant gave me a ride from shop to hotel on a HUBBUHBUBBUH tandem, which was very cool. I kept trying to steer from the back seat! The book event started with a film. Grant said it was an Oscar-winning French short from the '50s which anyone born before 1963 probably saw in school.
