Hi all, would like to buy a Soma Porteur rack (black or silver) like this http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/porteur-rack-black

Could pick up in London but would need to be posted from elsewhere.

Would consider any other axel mounting front porteur rack. Any condition is cool!

Or if anyone knows where you an get hold of new Soma racks in the UK that would be good to know - can't find them anywhere.

Cheers!

A cheaper alternative is Pelago, about £85 posted. The one I have was decent, fiddly to setup though

Thanks for the info! Was kinda after one where the struts on the base go front to back as that's the way the Velcro straps on my bag go (if that makes sense). Pelago seems like a good back up though thanks!

There's a shop called Mosquito Bikes on Essex Road who stock quite a lot of Soma, they order direct from them in the U.S and get a delivery once a month. I was after a Soma Deco rear rack and they offered to order me one and combine it with their next shipment, so if you contact them they should be able to sort out one of those Porteur Racks. Price-wise they seem to charge the Dollar price in Sterling, so a bit expensive, but if you're keen it's one option, happy hunting!

That's really useful, cheers! Seem like gold dust in the UK.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
