I am after a tortec velocity rack and I would like to know if any of you is using it. Can be suited on a classic steel frame ? Without slopping? From the pictures I appears to be quite long and I don't know if it can used on steel classic racing bike (with eyelets).

Thank you

I've used it on a steel tourer from the 80s. Got it flat, but the rods they supply didn't fit, they are curved and I needed straight. You can buy straight ones quite cheap.

Thank you for the rapid replay. Were you able to get the rack perfectly horizontal (flat) ? Did you get any interference of the rack with the rear dropouts?

Yeah, I got it flat and had no problems with the dropouts.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
