What Would You Do ?

WD Pro · Oct 1, 2008

If you were getting a frame re painted that had lugs on for a rack mount that you had never used in 18 years – would you have them removed for a sleek look or leave them on for originality ?

I am 99% sure I know what I am going to do but was interested in general opinion …

Cheers,

WD

You can guarantee that in 6 months time you'll think of a new use for the bike that involves fitting a rack. Keep 'em

Originality and adaptability....ON.

I have respect for the original designer. I might add (say a V-brake stop), but I wouldn't take anything off.

And there's also foresight - you can take off the hanger and gear cable stops because a frame is going to be a singlespeed, then you get injured and you can't do singlespeed any longer, or you need to sell the frame. Leave well alone.

My two cents worth

Considering the hassle I'm having fitting a rack to my commuter, I'd say leave them on......you never know.
