I've got an original Blackburn rack on my tourer (must be from 1980 or 81); been on two bikes (current one from 1984) and other than some grooving of the aluminium (Not aluminum

) where the panniers have worn into the vertical stays, it's still working hard today.
My wife has tubus on front and rear of her Roberts, they look great and work well.
