Hugh: Back at you - Happy (Belated) New Year wishes.
You nailed it - the reason I like the detachable lowrider racks is that they look great with or without the lowriders, and they're REALLY functional in keeping the weight low when they're on. Did you get your Atlantis built yet? Pics?

The only image other than yours I've seen with the Campee racks and loaded is from Lovelybike. I like how the low rider mounts keep the load low for added stability plus that they're removable. It doesn't seem they're that popular among "Riv folk so less feed back. I just dig the way they look with and without low rider attachments. Thanks for the reply and Happy New Year. ~Hugh "Life is like riding a bicycle.

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.
