Current Projects chat and miscellany

Yeah they're nice but the one on the Puch looks like one of those ones that mounts on the fork crown. I was just interested to know which it is. My front rack is the more traditional (?) style (support legs down to dropouts).

Yeah you need those things brazed on your forks (like in the picture) or bosses (like the bottle cage bosses/mounts on the downtube). You can use P-Clips if you don't have forks like this though.

it's a pletscher-rack. i saw it on some old lady's bike and figured i had to get one. found it nos from the bay years ago but never had a bike/fork that fit it. nice coincidence that those puch mistral forks fit perfectly.

edit. found a pic. mounted on my other puch:
