The front rack is the Salsa Minimalist. It came with the metal bracket that attaches to the fender mount hole in the fork. The two arms screw directly into the fork legs. As someone else mentioned, it can be used for a rear rack with a special seat post clamp from Salsa. I am gearing up for a tour on the bike with panniers, bags, etc but in the future, I plan to keep it clean and simple and just run the minimalist in the back.
