I've had it for a few years, and it hasn't gotten "floppy", though I always tended to keep it stuffed.<br /><br />I wish I knew about the coupon code on the Porteur rack a few days ago, since it has expired. :(<br /><br />All in all, a sweet looking bike!adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-12124901290010605112011-01-10T11:49:02.183-05:002011-01-10T11:49:02.183-05:00The rear rack is steel WALD rack ,made in USA :)

It is a bit floppy, and too fiddly for my taste to open, close, or mount. I am on the lookout for a better alternative for the bike I am currently building for my wife - I am thinking of a small decaleur mounted handlebar bag.Mark Mullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096731473715097086noreply@blogger.com
