people have talked about these on various threads....
I picked one up whilst over for the Eindhoven Polo and Rollapaluza and I fitted it today. It was easy to fit, is incredibly solid and well finished and I had no problem getting it on my old courier bike (wish I had one when I was working).....feels strong enough to sit a girlfriend on..
It's pretty heavy and it does affect handling, only slighly when unladen, I just bought 10k of shopping back on it and this completely changes the way your bike rides.
I'm gonna keep it on for a while, seems like it might be perfect for carrying bulky but not too heavy stuff around, just putting your bag on it to save your back or your clothes from sweat! or carrying heavier stuff every now and then if you're prepared to ride in a different style to normal...mounting kerbs is impossible when laden and it's slower to turn and balance is different.
Oh yes, less than half the price of a Cetma rack, I've seen both and the build quality of this appears equal, it's a proven design used by thousands of Dutch people for decades.
Maybe Jos could stock these if there was a demand.....
