Hi all,

A long shot, I know, but my new-to-me Homer (hope to post pics soon!) needs a front rack.  Does any one have a used Mark's Rack (or the similar M18 rack) they'd be willing to sell?

If so, please let me know your asking price plus shipping to Chicago.

I'm happy to just buy the rack, but for anyone interested in trades I have a few Riv-ish items I could factor in:

- front and rear set of silver Tektro CR720 Cantilevers
- Shimano 9 speed downtube shifters (Dura Ace 7700 9 Speed Bar end lever set without the bar end pods -- could also be used with Paul Thumbies or IRD / Velo Orange thumb shifter mounts).
- Dia-Compe Mod 750 (62-78mm reach) center pull brakes, including Surly stainless steel rear cable hanger and Problem Solvers front clamp on cable hanger.
- D&D Oberlauda "German Mirror" opened but unused in box.
- Nitto Albatross Aluminum bar, 25.4 clamp

Thanks!

Nate

Small update: I had the model number wrong on those shifters I listed as a possible partial trade for a Mark's rack.  They are the Shimano SL-BS77 bar end shifters, without the bar end pods as stated above.  So they are usable as DT shifters, but the levers are not the same shape as the 7700s. 

I also found some other shifters in the parts drawer:
- a pair of scratched but functional Shimano bar end shifters / barcons labeled "SL-BS50."  I think these are technically 7 speed shifters, though the rear appears to have an 8th "click"  (and/or it can be set to friction.)
- some lovely Shimano SL-M700 (Deerhead group I believe) ratcheting friction thumb shifters.

And, as long as I'm updating, I might as well mention an even longer-shot request than the Nitto front rack:  I'm also looking for a medium olive Sackville Shopsack. RBW is out of stock.

Thanks again,

Nate

I have / had one . I honestly can't remember if I still have it . I
barely used it but for some reason I think I may have sold it a year
or two ago. I'll look when I get home from work . If I still have it
I'll sell it. My goodness is my memory bad. I can't even remember if I
have a rack. Too many bike parts.
