Maybe these have gone the same way as the handbuilt frames...

The frame builder was laid off some weeks ago.

In the absence of Thorn racks, Tubus are very good.

Kevin (the frame builder) use to make the custom fit racks, so presumably they are no longer.

Hi John. Happy to relive you of one but I'm in Australia. If you want to work out how much the postage is and then let me know how I could pay it would be much apreciated.

Is this what you meant john? I live in a flat so I don't have access to a vice or metalwork equipment.

No!

Yours needs more bend than this but you should get the idea.
I think you may now require new arms!

Thanks John, but it won't go around the rear brake like that. Without a workshop, I'm pretty happy with mine as the rack is only rated for a light wieght.
