My Tarck Madison
 

I took a Walds rack and cut off the outer parts to give it a slim profile. I learned that trick in the C&V forum. Anyhow, here's my shiny yellow bike with a Cannondale bottle thingy, Brooks Team Pro and the pump that starts with an L (can't remember the name right now).

take off the reflectorrrrrrrrs

Level that rack!

!!!

slick lookin bike but instead of making a thread about it, post it in the "post your fg/ss picture thread"

Just curious, why does the rear brake cable cross over the top tube?

ugly as sin IMO

Just different from what you're riding most likely. Not ugly by any means.

You running panniers on that rack? I think I'd miss having a large space to prop stuff up on.

Confused.

What makes this 'tarck'...the reflectors, dual brakes or the rack?

I have other bikes I use when I need a full sized rack. When I originally installed the Walds it made the bike look like a Schwinn Collegiate and though there's nothing wrong with that look, it is not what I am looking for. This modified Walds rack is not for perching things on top and I use it sparingly as this is not my "touring" bike. I throw a single pannier on either side when I'm going to be riding a long while though. Otherwise it doesn't get used much. And the rack leans so I don't kick it with my foot.

And yeah the reflectors need to go I just haven't taken the time to do it. I've been busy with my Fred Wagon.

At least be original w/ your insults haha. "uglier than hillary clinton" is a good one i like to pull out from time to time...

You rock, but that bike isnt tarck!

There's nothing tarck about that bike.

Drive side pics?

Good point. I'll take more pics soon.

:rolleyes: that bike is like the anti-tarck :eek: bottle cage + pump + rack + reflectors? maybe tarck if they were all dayglo (that bike could probably actually pull it off).

the sloping rack is driving me crazy! and is that the stock stem? might just be the photo angle, but looks a bit long.

fix your rear cable.

those cranks are dangerously looooooong pedal strikes are no fun

wtf good is a rack like that gonna do? everything will just fall off the back with it angled like that.

I think you have your definitions of Fred and Tarck confused.

i think fred is a more apt description.

Lolz, here is MY TARCK Madison
