Let me know if you want a close up pic or anything.

If you're not too wrapped up in it being either "vintage" or a "jim blackburn," the Soma Mini Front Rack has the right look, it's got eyelets all over it, but it's just not old and not a jim blackburn. When I see pix of them on people's bikes, I'm always surprised when they mention they're the new Soma racks.

When I got the Vetta racks, I was kind of bummed that they didn't say jim blackburn like my other racks- it barely even crosses my mind now.
