Hello everybody, I just picked up this inexpensive rear rack for my bike. It seems to be of decent quality, I just can't decide if I like it on my bike. Let me know what ya think ok.

Looks fine to me.

Now you blend right in with the millions of the Chinese cyclists.

Looks nice - now get some bags, or a trunk on there.

Yeah, it looks naked sitting there by itself.

If you hadn't told me I'd of probably thought it came with the bike. I think when the bike came without a rack it just doesn't quite look like the old familiar steed when one is added. The good news is once you live with it a while that changes.

I have often found there is a direct correlation with respect to aesthetic appeal that is related and compounded by the pleasurable usefulness of the item in question.

Bikes looks better with racks on them, I promise.

He covered that in another post. Wanted a Trek and had few to choose from in China.

Nice Rack! .......... (someone had to say it.)

i'd rock it

I am 5'10 and have about a 31" inseam. After about 1 week of riding, I need to lower the seat down about 1" or so. I am 47 years old without any prior riding experience, except back when I was a young teenager. Most bikes here in China are small frames and when I checked out the Giant bikes, all the had was the very small framed bikes. They said They could get me a bigger framed bike, but it would take a few months to get it. I did lots of research and reading about sizing here and on other forums, and a 20" frame of this model seemed like the best fit.

So, which rack is it?

looks good... load it up!

looks fine to me, you have a nice ride!

Looks perfect to me. I also would like to know what kind it is. Currently rack-shopping.

Two thumbs up!

Looks to me like the bike should fit fine, and I like the rack too. Congrats!

Looks like it belongs there. It's just waiting to be 'dressed'.

Thx for the comments, it's growing on me the more I see it on my bike. I paid RMB100...which comes out to $14.65 in US dollars. The rack was just in a plastic bag without any name brand on the rack itself. The only thing it has stamped on it is the weight capacity which is 25kg.

It's color-matched and blends well with the lines of the bike. I'd say it's a winner!

Here's another thumbs-up from me, although I'd prefer that it be level and found your bike to look sleeker without it. You're commuting though, so it blends in with its function.

Very nice ....

That little kick-out in the back will keep the panniers out of the spokes, just fine.
