SWEET! Thanks! I have been scouring Craigslist etc for a used trailer (for groceries, jewellery supply runs that don't fit my panniers, and maybe the dog one day) but everything's been either thrashed, ridiculously overpriced, or both ($75 for a plastic Huffy trailer whose fabric is completely sun-shredded???). I was starting to think about the Bell trailer at Costco for $200, but it has those awful plastic spokes.

Off to Canadian Tire, I think...

Cap's Bikes in New Westminster (near Vancouver) has large y-frames for $200. Check 'em over though, I went through two platforms: one was starting to de-laminate, the other was quite warped.

If anyone buys one, could you post a picture of the hitch before the sale ends Thursday? My local CT doesn't have one in stock, and I'd rather know if it was worth getting, before running all over town. Thanks in advance!

If you're worried about it, grab a rain check from your local CT. It'll buy you some time in figuring out if you want one.

Bah! Missed the sale! I'm in the same boat as Buglady - horribly overpriced crap. :(
