Hi folks, I'm the sole-owner and operator of CETMA. I make these. And this is NOT spam.









Thought I'd chime in to clear up a few things and offer an opinion or two.


First of all, 8 pounds is the weight of the Woodslat CETMArack, not the weight capacity. I hope it's clear on the website.

I really like Joel's amazing custom rack and the beautiful ANT racks, but buying either of them wouldn't do me any good because they don't fit MY bike! (Joel told me his friends at Sycip custom-made his rack for his fork).

The frame-mounted Dutch butcher bikes are an excellent idea too, but I don't want to change bikes--I like mine. The Paul Components Flatbed...$150 and it only holds 25 pounds? Nah. There's a messenger downtown (SF) that "uses" one, and he told me it sucks. It's broken, the wood slats are loose, and the headset contraption isn't practical.

I honestly think the CETMAracks are the best value for the average person. They're strong, practical, rigorously tested (fifteen SF messengers have been using them daily for a year now), universal (no shocks or really tall bikes), and CHEAP.


Additionally, there's a magazine in the UK called Velovision. It's run by a guy named Peter Eland, and showcases some REALLY cool stuff. For those looking for freight-bikes and unique carriers, check it out.
