Nice to see your pictures! Though having visited Copenhagen now and then since 1957 and even ridden drop-bar bicycles there (and even bought two bikes there, with drop bars)I can assure that they do exist. Pedersens ARE nice to ride – I have done so – though taking another road to design. S

[RBW] Front Rack Advice

I'm a little surprised to hear the Mark's Rack is unstable. It seems to me you could join that with a Mark's Hub Area Rack and spread the load between panniers and basket so you're not overloading the top rack. And it would look awesome! -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Michael: I haven't used the Nitto Big Front Rack but it looks like the low rider rail should give clearance. Maybe look into other panniers? Doesn't the Nitto have a couple of mounting rails for panniers? There've been a few versions of that rack. FWIW, on my Atlantis I have a Tubus Duo s
