I'm selling a Nitto Platrack and matching Sackville Platsack combination. Newcomers won't know what this thing is, so I'll explain briefly
The Platrack is a Nitto tubular steel platform specifically designed to bolt to the top of your Marks Rack (M1) or your Mini Front Rack (32F). The Platrack converts your smaller rack into a much larger platform. The Platrack has its own pair of auxiliary struts, stiffening and strengthening the assembly.
The Sackville Platsack is a bag designed specifically to attach to the Platrack.
I bought this Platrack/Platsack assembly from Riv in ~2013. It has lived on my Hillborne, my Bombadil, and most recently on my wife's Yves Gomez. It's been used on several S24Os but almost exclusively was an 'event' setup. The vast majority of its life has been spent on the shelf.
So, if you already have a Mark's Rack -OR- a Mini Front Rack and want a way to massively expand its platform temporarily (or forever), this may be your thing. If you are an old timer and have kicked yourself for missing out on this Rivendell exclusive, here's your chance again.
The Platrack struts have been cut to the right length for an Yves Gomez, which is a 650B wheel with medium tires. If your bike runs 700c wheels, you will almost certainly need to buy longer struts. Some people have set up their Platrack to reach the mid-fork braze-ons, and if that is your strategy, these struts will be plenty long.
$90 plus shipping for the Rack. $110 plus shipping for the Bag. $175 plus shipping for both the rack and the bag. I want to sell them together, but if you are dying to buy one part and not the other, let me know. If I can find a taker for each half then I will elect to split them up.

I had a platrack for a long time and loved mine. carried a car battery from the auto parts shop in mine, carried water melons frequently.
sold mine because i stopped carrying such large things but this is a great setup if you need it. good luck with the sale bill!
