I mounted this rear rack on my late 90's Trek 720 Multi-track hybrid bicycle. I needed a rack that I could strap a milk crate to haul groceries and barley pops back to the house, and occasional commutes through the streets of Chicago to the Financial district. It hasn't let me down one bit!
The install was simple, but the unsightly mounting brackets don't really look all that great (nature of the beast I suppose). However, the rack looks great on the bike.
The price was reasonable (there are cheaper racks, but I prefer the quality of Blackburn racks over the others).
I'm surprised at the amount of weight this thing can handle! Sure beats lugging groceries over 6 blocks.
