for me i use a messenger bag for my stuff as i have a rack on my other bike and find it way easier and quicker to use a bag. now if my commute was 10+ miles one way i would switch to a rack.
i was about to buy a topeak rack with the mtx medium bag and mtx basket because i thought it would work with an older topeak rack i have on the other bike. but because they are not compatible with the older racks i bought a messenger bag instead at tjmaxx for $15.
Funny enough, I was thinking about buying the topeak rack also. I haven't bought the spalding blade as yet because I didn't want to buy a bike that doesn't take a rear rack. So thanks a lot for the info, now I feel more confident about making the purchase. The person is selling it for $95, do you think that's a good deal for a used spalding blade?
