I was not impressed with a VO rack I installed on a customer's bicycle. The
welds were ugly, everything was out of alignment, the finish was not
anywhere near that of a Nitto, and the piece that attaches to the fork crown
was flimsy and sure to fail eventually. I'm sure it would perform just fine

are the rails longer on the berthoud...or just as short as on the b17?

the best option is simply to replace the solid axle with a hollow one --
very simple with a phil hub -- and then use a standard pitlock or locking

if you bring a single bearing to any bike shop, they can bust out the park

next time you buy/order bike stuff, add a park spoke ruler -- they come in

there was a model or two of bianchi cx bikes in the late 80s or early 90s
