You've got to be kidding: the Tubus Duo's shape is far and away the prettiest lowrider EVER. Now admittedly, the black version, the only one imported into the US, doesn't look like much. The silver version (available from SJS in England http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/tubus-duo-low-rider-rack-for-26-% 28559%29-and-700c-%28622%29-wheels-silver-prod12798/ ) is prettier, and will end up probably costing about the same as a black one ordered from a US source. I once saw a Vanilla touring bike equipped with a chrome plated Tubus Duo. Now /that/ was gorgeous. (No mistake; the shape's unmistakeable and I stopped to talk with the owner, who was shocked that I'd heard of Vanilla, who he believed was still an unknown Portland builder.

The shape of the Duo is unique, and it doesn't come in stainless. It also won't fit a standard lowrider braze-on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
