Alright Mick,
Not got one for sale, so no help I know., but I got one of the BLB front pizza racks on my hack/ pub bike. Very good it is too. Sometimes use it for road, Sustrans style overnighters All your stuff can be chucked into a dry bag and strapped onto the front.
Easy!!!
Hope someone helps you out.
Cheers fella!

If you just want to try out a front rack, this is cheap:

Cheers but it wouldn't fit my bike I have a ramin plus and the only mounts I can use are the ones for the anything cage on the forks so it appears to limit options cheers though

This any use? https://www.bikeinn.com/bike/basil-fron ... 37479037/p Quite cheap, mounts on the skewer and bars by the looks. Heavy though, 2kg :shock:

Reading the reviews, they don't seem to fit very well at all!

I've missed those reviews, I know that did a aftermarket one that was slightly different in the fittings so it fit more bikes as the stock one was designed for the awol, I've just looked at the pics tbh and it looked like it could fit

I think it all depends on your bike/fork and it is a great looking rack. Reviews in link below.

Think thats more to do with the aptitude of the people fitting it. Mine did take a bit of adjustment and I had to use a different bracket from the fork crown but since fitted its been fine

I have one of these on my CX bike: https://www.racktime.com/produkte/syste ... /topit-evo
Mounts to some eyelets halfway down my fork.

Pretty light and sturdy - decent for strapping a drybag or jacket to or something.

Asposium I don't think yours would work for my forks

Guitar yours looks like it would be good on my london road actually

No worries wriggles I have the same question where did you buy that cheers all

Yeah the racktime topit evo has been on my radar for a while as its narrower and less obtrusive than the spesh, fits to the same mid fork mounts, but also ally without being flimsey so still quite light unlike the nitto/VO versions but i havent seen it anywhere for less than Β£60. Which kinda puts me off :sad:

Looking at my emails, I got the Racktime TopIt for Β£29 posted from Bikester about this time last year.
Seems good quality, fixings were good too and easy to fit and nothing has rattled loose.

I've barely used my car since March and am starting to have cargo bike thoughts. I really like the look of this, which Steve posted up a while back: Clydesdale Cargo Fork and rack. Far too expensive at AU$275 plus I'd need a donor bike and a 20in wheel ... sigh.

From here in case anyone could afford it. And can I take her for a spin if you do?
