Title: High Front loading the Sherpa
Post by: Poppymann on April 25, 2008, 03:21:09 PM
Hello!
I just received my Sherpa frame and am starting to bulid it up. I live in the States and I have to say I was quite pelased with the Raven frame. But enough of that.
My former bike was a Bianchi single speed and I  built a porteur style front rack for it. It actually handled quite well and I like having the load up front. I tried a rear rack with a top turnk but it swayed a lot when I was out the saddle.

It seems we Americans are obsessed with Porterur racks and high mounted front loads, amongst other things.

How does the Sherpa ride with a high mounted frount load?
