Marty - great job on that rack mod and install. Do you know what the specific Blackburn rack model that is? I'm working with a lady whose junked bike she was given for free by some older couple and I rebuilt into serviceable condition last year so she could use it to commute to her school job and ride in a fund raising event. Now she's saying that her husband may get a full time job (again) and she's concerned that she may need the bike more frequently for commuting. So she wants fenders and a rack installed. I've got an eye on the where to get the fenders, but racks and rack prices are all over the place. If I could find a used heavy duty Blackburn like yours maybe on eBay and fix it like you have it might be the best bargain (she doesn't have a lot of money). Thanks, George
