WTB: Velo Orange Randonneur Front Rack - Canti Post Mount
 
Hey everyone! Just about done building up a 1996 Trek Multisport for my girlfriend, but I'm looking to install a front rack that attaches to cantilever brakes. Both VO and Nitto options seem to be sold out everywhere online, but if anyone has one laying around they'd be willing to part with please let me know!

Thanks so much, I'll post pictures of the build when it's done, should be wrapped up this weekend!

In the event that you get desperate and this will fit: https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop...ng+light+mount

Not sure what shipping would be, but seems to be in stock? - https://www.libertecycles.com/Frontr...ack-cantilever

Not anywhere near as nice (or pricey), but I am thinking I am going to try one of these? https://www.thebikesmiths.com/collec...ts/yuen-yfa23c Wish it was black or chrome/aluminum. The "silver" seems like it would clash with an old bike.

The SOMA Mini Champs Elysees has always appeared to be essentially the same design to my eye:

Why not buy the one with the integrated decaleur: https://velo-orange.com/collections/...eur-cantilever

It also comes with the U shaped plugged if you don't want to commit to decaleur placment on a bag just yet.

The SOMA needs either fork eyelets or the use of P-clamps. fowlergmu is looking for a cantilever post mounted one.

If you mean this type, I have one out in the shed I’d be willing to part with:

Mine looks a bit different - that center mount isn’t adjustable but has a threaded post on it instead. It’s also a bit bent as I recall, but you could probably straighten it as it’s steel.

I’ll be happy to take some pictures if you’d like. I’m not sure if you can send PMs yet, but that’s best for me.

Just sent you a PM! This might be exactly what I'm looking for :)
