I have a very weak spot for racks, panniers, bags and straps. This presses my buttons!  rack by Sooper 8, on Flickr Link here |

That rack will look good on the "touring" project I've envisioned. Thanks for finding it.  |

I think this has 'Bendo' written all over it.

Yep, was just going to say, either Bendo or Jem. :-)

Did you see these on eBay? Excellent racks - same as on the Deore 18ax? Went for a good (I.e. Low) price, but still more than I could spend.

Very tasty indeed. Rare to find a new rack with the old rattrap mechanism. And you all seem well aware of my preference for silver components. I think I would happily trust any of you to buy me a Christmas present. Yes, that's a hint.
The Showa rack ensemble is food for thought... Thanks for alerting me. Even after seeing Jem's Deore AX, I never quite twigged that those shortie racks were actually made for the front. I'm more used to the kind that attach to the cantilever brake bosses. b
