Seatpost mount rack vs frame mounted rack
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2016 4:48 pm
Im thinking of building (fabrication is a hobby of mine) a rack system for my commuter bike.
The frame is basically scrap being that its so heavy and it was free. it doesn't have frame mounts for a rack, so I would have to weld some nuts to the frame for mounting. This has me thinking... is there any reason not to make a seatpost mounted rack vs a frame rack?
The most I will be carrying is a grocery bag and/or my lunch bag. Either will be a small flat with rails for a bungee to hold it on.
