Thanks all,
Perhaps I should have included just a bit more info in the original posting. I thought it was a pretty straight-forward question. I like the looks of that VO rack. I DO have fenders but am not about to drill holes in original 1963 Frejus fenders. So, I don't really need the fender mounting bosses but I like that minimal style rack. I realize it is of limited utility. No groceries. No commuting. No panniers. No, I just want something small which I can strap small items to for short, casual outings. Camera bag, lunch, etc. Don't really need some big, elaborate rack for panniers, etc. So, my original question was: wondering if anybody had tried that rack without using the fender bosses, but with the optional mounting hardware. I'd gladly go for something similar and minimal without the fender bosses ...if I can find it.
Thank you
