Just to be clear, the Sugino crankset I linked to really is designed for a single chainring, but there is a slight shelf (? not sure of the term) on the inside of the spider for an inner chainring to sit. It doesn't come as far inboard as a regular double, but it is enough to keep the chainring

My understanding is that the upper fork mounts are a standard distance from the fork crown hole. Meaning, it will fit, but the angle that the rack sits will vary slightly due to head tube angle. I'm hoping to get a Haulin' Colin when the next batch is ready. David Chicago On Wednesday, November
