I make wooden "pulleys" with hole saws of various diameters, a router with a 45 degree chamfer bit. Two of them sandwiched together with screws and glue and a big vise.

I have brazed parts of a few racks together while they were on bikes--next time I do it, the foil is coming out!

Lovely work.
Your 'pre-patina'ed' look is the sort of inspired fakery that I approve of. :) |

Well done! Must have been fun/stressful to work on a such an archetypal Herse. Especially cool to have contributed to the history of that bike now, too.

This is super impressive. I’ve always been curious does anyone know what sorts of loads those rear racks can support? Were there certain types of loads or bags that these racks were intended for?

This is beautiful. Both the bike and those fabulous racks.

A few baguettes would work just fine, however. |

Rene Herse rear rack pictures that may be of interest to someone here....

@gugie, those racks are waaaaaay beyond anything I could ever pull off. It's problematic whether I should be allowed to swap out a flat inner tube, and just the thought of installing metal fenders, such as those sold by VO, on one of my bikes is enough to give me hives It would not even occur to me that racks like that could be fabricated in a home shop, much less that they could be constructed on the bike. Absolutely gorgeous and a more than fitting addition to that Rene Herse.
