If you get the VO, since it's stainless, you can easily have a local welder
weld a stainless headlight mount to it without worrying about destroying
the chrome plating and future rusting.
I have the larger VO porteur rack, and had a local welder weld a short
piece of similar same-diameter stain
PPS- this is for 650b bike, hoping to have an upside down edeluxe II on it.
The *Soma Champs looks interesting*, but they eyelets are right behind and
close to the stay, so that looks like an upside down edelux would not have
freedom of rotation for mounting there without using an arm of some ki
I'll add that the Soma works just fine once setup.
My comments about the finish might've come off too harsh. It's a nice rack, but
it's as expensive (or more) than similar Nitto racks which have a more refined
finish.

I actually really like this rack. It's stiffer than a Mark's rack, but
still has an adjustable strut to the fork crown. The strut is
well-designed, to avoid interference with the fork crown race. And it's the
ideal rack for a bike with 38mm 700 C tires (i.e. Barlow Pass, Ocean
Air/Soma C-line,
The welds are not very smooth, visible in Soma's photo. The rack also sits
high above the wheel/fender. As it's not adjustable, there's not much to do
about that. I ended up using it with p-clamps on another bike and had to
install the fork crown strut upside down and bent around to get a

Berthoud still makes a nice mid fork rack. Not as snazzy looking as the
VO, but better quality IMO.
