I modified the rackaleur today with help from my dad and his acetylene torch. I wish I had his shop so I could do more of this kind of stuff. As it came, the rackaleur sat too high and too far forward for my liking. It was probably fine for a smaller frame, but with the longer head tube I felt I could make it better by having the back sit lower and closer to the headtube.

Here's how it looked originally; the top of the bag would've been about level with the hoods.





Post modification. It turned out great.









Here's a video of us making the first bend. Pardon the shaky cell phone video. I was multitasking.
