Great pictures, Earl! The Nitto front rack on that Bombadil - that's the
one I want. Same one that's on the lead Atlantis photo on Riv's site. The
big front rack sold today at Riv, as installed in the site video, obscures
the beautiful fork legs. I prefer the rack leg proud of the fork leg
I bought a steering damper on a VO order, and it does not fit in the space
available on my old bike with fenders.
If anyone wants it, new - package opened - $10 will get it there by
Priority Mail.

I have the Hebie. I am not using the plastic cover for the spring, and the
spring was dragging on the fender, scratching it (maybe that's why there is
a cover?) :). But rotating the L bracket at the fork crown so the spring
attaches above the brake bolt solved the problem. You can see the
I'll step up and throw my weight behind the Gamoh portuer rack. I've had it
on my daily commuter for a few months and I really like it. i had a custom
porteur bag made for it as well, and it's massive. I've had some issues w/
the legs matching up with multiple bikes and forks..and I'm about to
strap to the bar is a good idea. It's also the reason I like the Bertoud
decaleur design with a boxy bag - load sharing with the bar/stem.

I am weighing (no pun intended!) a few of the helpful suggestions from the
group. I think I am considering:

Blackburn cheap and tough, ugly and not made for this bike.
Marks elegant and made for the bike, expensive and wondering about weight

Sounds like a good list. The key to using the Mark's Rack with a true load
is the second set of struts, as you can see in the staff bikes photos
(Keven's Appaloosa, Grant's Homer). It's much more loadable with the
second pair of struts.

For added peace of mind, take an Irish strap or two and loop it between the
handlebars and the basket. Presumably, it'll take some weight off the rack
and onto the handlebars, which can support a lot of weight. I think Keven's
Appaloosa has straps in the pic.

Good point. My Pass Stow experience is on a bike designed for it.
