No racks on this one Rolly?

Yeah I’ve got a groupset ready to go for the right frame. I’ve never used any kind of clamp on adapter before, not sure if they are any good.

larfinboy has pm’d me, he’s only 5 mins from the seller 🙂
no racks no, but i think it’s too badass to not have a crack! can always move it on to the right person if it isn’t suitable.
still need to chat to gene about it anyway… figured if he was at work it could go before he even had a chance to check it out!

They’re fine. Better than a braze on in a lot of cases, as they don’t weaken the tube, plus you can adjust height and angle to allow for compact / regular.

If it was a 56+ I wouldn’t have told any of you schmucks and kept it for myself

NAh nah I think I’m starting to come around to this idea 😛
Serious though, much appreciated Blakey. It broadens my options a lot.

Here’s another from the same seller. Twice the size, half as cool, half the price. Looks to be decent quality though.

I forwarded that to John Kennedy after his SS beater got bent after a taxi hit him… and kept driving.

Probably should be a new thread, but while we’re the topic of small Japanse built bikes for sale in SA, here’s a cheapish Miyata which looks to be in pretty good nick. Can’t say I know much about the 110 model though.

ALL THE KUWAHARAS ARE MINE (but probably more likely gene’s girlfriends…)
