Decided i needed a bit of carrying capacity.....not much, just a bit.
So ive built myself a new front rack out of an old one!
Took an old blackburn rack that had been bent up at some point made for drop out fixing.
Cut of the front braces, heated and bent the remaining stays to the right angle and shortened them for a fork mounting position.
With the cut off bits made 2 new braces for the rear and some extra top support to stop my coat/ bag hitting the tyre.
Made some simple round bar eyes to fix it to the forks.
Simples....
