True this. But the bloke who designed the original Bagman mounts might be interested to know that there are people who like the way his racks look but don't like the way they break.
Given a few reinforcements and design tweaks, I'm pretty sure the Bagman 1 (without the support struts) could be made much more robust.

My solution isn't interesting for him because it's a set distance, too bespoke/non transferable. If I'd use my Bagman on another bike of mine it would probably work because there's actually a little bit of adjustment at the sliding clamps that I ripped off a rack, but it wouldn't work on another bike frame size, different "saddle to seat stay" distance, etc...
Actually even in my case, this being my only bike with slight compact geo/ slightly sloping top tube, I would probably not be able to use it on my ratty commuter or my road bike... (they don't even have rack mounts, they out anyway with that solution)
