looking at what you have going on behind the seat, I can see that you may not be able to get real far back or real low with a post but I can drill and thread a hole in the end of the post so you can use that as a mounting point for the rack?.. just a thought.

Nice ride by the way!

thanks man and yeah, that may be an option but i may go a different route all together and just fabricate a tank of my own from an old juice can or something, i want some kind of rack in the back so i can add baskets for hauling groceries and such like (i'm looking at the Wald folding baskets) and so if i can figure a way to mount the rack so it mounts to the frame rather than the seat then maybe i'll have more options.

...this is why i need a little time to figure s h i t out, lol. (it won't be long though because i am VERY unhappy with the current setup)

thanks again, bozo

usflgThank you so much for my 7" layback at 82 degrees. Totally what I was looking for to give my Micargi stealth an even more sleek look! I will be sure to post you some pics when I get more time. Thanks again.

inked1974,
It is so good to see that you are making these available and in so many different configurations. I can see one in my future!

I've been through Palo. As a kid I lived for some years in Ottumwa.

Thanks SB. These started out as something that I wanted on my bikes and kind of snowballed from there on another forum and on ebay. As for Palo, we have enjoyed living in such a sleepy little town but it is pretty stressful living 1 mile from the river. Just this weekend had flood threats again and had to go into panic mode. River did not crest as high as projected but the potential for disaster has me considering a move.

If you are ever in need of a post just give me a shout!

Hi Ink,

What do you suggest for a Cranbrook?
Also, I have a FD Kit, so it cant go too far back.
(i need to figure out how to post pics for you to see)

My suggestion would be 75-80 degree bend angle if you wanted the post to be level with the ground. 90 degree will angle down towards the rear tire after it is installed due to seat tube angle in the stock frame. As for the length of lay back.. I would have to see what clearence you have or you can provide me wit a measurement. I would be happy to help however I can. Thanks!

Ink,

Working on a gt2a frame build. Only need about an inch and a half between the bend and before it gets turned down from 1". Looks like it would be about a 75 degree bend. is that do-able?
