Naked Platrack

[Marty]

For those who are fortunate to have fork-crown eyelets, (the ones on top ala Bombadil, Hunqapillar and maybe others) I have successfully proved that you CAN mount a Platrack sans-Marks or Mini. Sure, the rising loopy arc-o'-steel is absent, but think of the weight savings! Seems to be quite strong, but honestly the Mini is going back on tomorrow as I like the versatility. I love the way the spacing of the eyelets is just right for the rack-nut thingies. Nice and parallel. If this were permanent, I'd use shorter spacers on the fork-crown and cut the rods, but you get the idea. Well, you will now:

I like it. I can see this working even if you don't have the eyelets on the fork. Let us know how it holds up.

Whoa! Them's some long aluminum levers serving as weight-bearing struts! I wonder how much weight it'll take.

Still... I'm sure it would hold a pizza or two!
