My bicycle doesn't have dedicated rack mounts on the front. I did get a rack that mounts on the axle and brake mount. Im looking into getting a weld shop to put another bar going down and a couple cross bars so I can mount bags lower down. I'm probably going about this the hard way but oh well I'm already to invested to give up. I didn't but the bags but I did get the rack
