Fair enough, my LBS, which is a Surly dealer, took my suggestion to look into OMM racks. When I last spoke to them, they said they liked the racks and were suprised to find out thta OMM makes stuff for Surly. Maybe I misunderstood them. Certainly for what Surly wants for those racks they should be made in the US. If they were made by OMM then the price would make more sense. If they aren't made here or in Europe then they are pretty pricey.
