Hello,

Just got a new bike and was looking to get a rear rack for it. Looks like any frame-mounted rack that would work on a normal upright, suspended rear frame would work on this. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation. Of course, can't do any seat post rack, as there is no seat post.

Thanks for any recommendations,

Why not just hang a bag from the headrest?

Can't tell much from that pic, but I appreciate your optimism.

Potential issues I see are:
1. Discs
2. Dropout eyelets - can't tell from pic if there are any
3. "seat stay" mounting point

Re #1 -- there's a number of racks with extra standoff for discs. I'm a fan of the Topeak ones myself.

#2 - you're on your own there.

Re #3 - I jury rigged a rack onto my full suspension mountain bike for a trip, and it worked fine. But I had an older GT i-Drive with a unified rear triangle. Can't tell from your pic whether the "upper seat stay" is in a constant angle relative to your dropout, or it flexes. If the former, you might be fine just extending the stays from the rack out and down and latching on with a couple of P-clamps and it might be very simple. If not, you're probably screwed and best of attaching to the back of the seat as the aspiring centurion proposes.

PS does that chain really run through a tube? Is that common on 'bents?

Yep, chain tube are pretty common on recumbents. I just bought a Topeak rack with the disc brake standoffs. Figure I'll kludge a way to get it attached. The bike does have eyelets, so that part should work out. And like you mention, a few P clamps should do the trick to attach to the more forward frame bars.
