Front rack with low-riders on Victor

Time for another pair of forks?

Or would a hole drilled through the right hand side low rider bracket plate allow you to bolt it directly onto the lamp boss instead of using the backplate? I appreciate it might throw out the lines to bolt up the top plate and the fork end mounting, but some bushes or washers might allow you to keep things neat(ish) and tidy.

Life would be dull without these challenges!

I'll just put this here, here is a relatively inexpensive front rack that is suppose to carry a lot. If making a fashion statement with one's rack is what you want, you might look elsewhere.

I opened this discussion on Google Chrome too and did not get any images though, I remember reading though and seeing the images at another time,  Typical low-rider type racks. Maybe all the bandwidth hoopla has the website rejecting some images.

I would assert your wife's bicycle may be a hybrid or mountain bike.

Well done, I honestly also obtained one of those same kinds of front racks you linked to a few years ago; it sat around until I got a hybrid bike and I installed it just last year.  I do understand how they install if I have that right, on  "cantilever brakes", the brake bosses.  So far, those kinds of racks do not seem vintage road bike friendly.

I was very bike dependent for most of the last year (long story short, my car's motor sounded real bad from last June so I said to heck with it, I don't want to make an expensive repair OR I want to fix it myself, so I rode the bike all the time until late March where I finally took the Toyota to a mechanic because I had a warranty, and guess what? It was not a serious problem, the timing chain slipped off but I've had so much bad luck with cars, I just shelved getting it repaired for a while, I figured, it was ready for the junk yard, I probably could have been driving it all this time, still, cars can be very aggravating and when the weather is better, I hope to be on the bike basically all the time) and sometimes, one does need some heavy lifting. The hybrid actually does well in that regards.  Just looking at the options should the need ever arise or should some grand tour be planned.
