Just be aware that with this set-up, the mounting point for the rack ends up being a little further off the fork braze-ons than normal - something to consider when settling on a rack design. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks all. Looks like I can safely commit to the brake and fork braze- ons and add a rack later.

TA used to make swell little racks that attached to the Mafac brake braze ons and through the center brake hole. This worked for lighter weights, but would not be as stable as something that attaches to the brake braze ons then to the drop outs, or a separate set of braze ons further down the fork.

I ordered a new Coho Randonneuse with exactly that set up. Chuck made a custom rack for the bike that fits on the special Paul bolts and some lower rack mounts on the front forks. I can't take a picture because I had to have the fork ID honed ( tubing defect) and it's on its way back to me. Seems very stable but I have not built the bike up yet to test it out. ~Mike~ On Mar 4, 10:21 am, Marty wrote: > Anyone try this, or know of anyone who has? Looking for a picture if > possible.
