Hugh: I just recently mounted a pair of those Campee racks on a 1984 Stumpjumper Sport, and the rear platform is plenty big enough to support a Large Sackville Saddlesack. I think the racks look terrific without the lowrider attachments. Haven't ridden with yet.

I dig the low rider hoops and that they're removable. Though the top platform seems a bit small yet in this image here<http://www.icycletowork.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/9afad__6017230335_8457c5f48e.jpg> they have a Sackville saddle bag mounted which IMHO looks awesome. Doug I do like the look of that rack however it seems awful similar to my Tubus Cosmo rack. I've noticed that even with the lower mount on the Cosmo with a load on the platform it still is a hassle to mount and dismount panniers especially with a good load on top. ~Hugh On Friday, December 20, 2013 12:02:34 PM UTC-8, dougP wrote: My name is Doug & I have a serious luggage rack problem.....now, I think I need another one. In today's BLUG post, check out the rear rack on the 51 cm Sam in the last photo. It's got the lower pannier mounting bars that allow easy access to the top platform with panniers attached. It looks like the front hoop is either really low or gone, so there is more useful area on the platform. This really looks like a good evolution. If the lower mounts are nice long tabs that can be cut to fit, one of these may wind up on the mini-Lantis. This is the rack that's been mentioned somewhere (here? BLUG?) as one of Mark's projects. I recall something about Rivendell wanting to replace the 2 different sizes of Big Back Rack with a single version, which makes a lot of sense. This looks like it. ETA from Nitto is "soon". dougP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
