Bruce Gordon lowrider rack
A touring legend! This rack has been barely used if it has ever seen a tour at all.
Sold!

I will say that it sits wide at the bottom and makes use of nylon spacers between the rack and lower dropouts. But that is the intent so that there is plenty of clearance away from your wheel.

I successfully mounted one on a modern Rivendell Atlantis (MIT) without the extra spacers. Running 2.2 Sparwoods on the huge fork. It worked around town but I don’t think I would feel good about a serious tour set up like that.

apparently there are two versions of this rack - and the "F1S" is the one for "generic" (aka more common standard, maybe?) spacing twixt mid-fork boss and the dropout eyelets:
"The F1-S has a slightly different plate and adaptor for the Front Rack to fit generic frames with a measurement of 16.5 cm from the eyelet to the mid fork braze-on."
Can you confirm if this one is BG-sized, or sized to the 16.5cm 'standard' ?
