soma-champs-elysees-mini-front-rack On a Sam

[Davey Two Shoes]

Hi All,

I'm thinking about this rack, but I'm a little shy to pull the trigger since its not adjustable. It seems sturdier than the M-18 and I like he look. Does anyone run this on a Sam, did it fit without issue? I run Paul Mini Moto brakes, I dont expect an issue there but who knows.

Thanks for the help!

I've got an unused one I can sell you cheap.  I can take measurements if you need.  It is indeed sturdier than the nitto racks, both because of the fixed strut and the thicker diving board.  I got it for my Saluki.  The fit was spot-on (I suspect it was designed for the Rivendell-standard), but the diving board interfered with my Paul Racer brakes.  I don't think any other brakes should be an issue, but measurements should confirm.

I've had the Soma Lucas 3 front rack on my bike for a while and I adore it, not as handsome as the Champs-Elysees but holds my front panniers/bluetooth speaker and dynamo mount nicely.
