Raleigh Sports Rack - Please Help Me Decide!
I am in the market for a rack to put on my wife's silver Raleigh Sports. I've narrowed the choices down to these our racks.
What say ye, C&V forum members?
- Pletscher lookalike
- Lezyne Power Rack
- Biria (with mousetrap)
- Civia Mission

Some of these will not be compatable with your fender stays. I had that problem with the Birea which I returned https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014509CY

Thanks much Schwinnsta! I was thinking that the Biria might be problematic too, given the configuration of the fender stays on the rear dropouts and the design of the rack struts/legs. That one has been eliminated from the competition. Now I'm down to three:
- Pletscher lookalike
- Lezyne Power Rack
- Civia Mission
