It held up fine during a week of touring in France. That included some disassembly due to French train rules, which was a PITA as the ovalhead bolts are very soft and prone to rounding off. It's plenty sturdy but perhaps not for easy swapping around.
I got a matching rear rack because I am a glutton for punishment and matchy, matchy. Replacement bolts should arrive today.
What was the explanation? I know the SNCF doesn't allow recumbents, trailers or tandems, but I can't see why a rack would make the bike non "standard".
