new rack has 'spoiled' my bike -according to son!!

[mrsbaggins]

I finally got around to having a rack fitted on my mountain bike-mainly for the commute to work as I hate wearing a back pack! It has to be a certain type apparently because of the disc brakes but seems ok. Ny son said I have ryuined my bike and my street cred has gone! which is funny as I didnt think I had any at all! ah well! wait till he sees the black reflective tape I have ordered. Hopefully he wont speak to me again -even when he wants to borrow money!

I call him lots of things but thats not one of them!

Just put a sprung Brooks and Carradice Camper Longflap on it instead of a rack. That will win him round.

So that's all it takes is a bike rack? ... I'm off to the LBS right now

Get mudguards too!

Your son has no taste.

A rack and mudguards are essential for a good looking bike.

..and a kick-stand plus a big chrome bulb horn

..don't forget a basket on the front too.

Just about to fit raceguards to my Bianchi...that ought to do it for me!

 

[Sheffield_Tiger]

And even more importantly not borrow your bike !!!

If it also makes a bike less desirable to thieves even better , i am so glad i have a pannier and full mudguards on mine
