I’m doing a “lighter tour” configuration on this bike as the kitchen sink trips aren’t in my immediate future. I found the decaleur canti front rack yesterday that I’m excited about. I’d like a silver rack in the back that’s classy and 26” specific, as I’d like it to ride low and close to the fender constructeur style like in the front. It’ll mostly have two ‘front’ ortleib panniers. About a 13/13.5” platform height and clearance for the 70mm fenders.
Then I’ll get another manything cage, move em to the forks, add a dynamo light, and lose the heavy kickstand for a single footer.

I love my rear rack from Velo orange, the Panier rails sit below the top platform which is good for a saddle bag or any extra gear, the top platform also features underside eyelets for mounting a fender more securely, also has another eyelet for mounting a rear light
The vintage [Blackburn Mtn Rack](https://www.ebay.com/itm/256765598367?_skw=blackburn+rack) is super short, it will kiss the top of that fender.
These were produced in large quantities, should be easy to find at a co-op or Craigslist.
Nitto! Or Soma
Can that rack be non canti? I bought a dumb road runner bag off bike trader and it sort of needs a randoneer rack
Off topic but what are those e pack braze ons for the fork?
This is a sweeet rig! I’d like to see what it’d look like with some original Shimano DX platform pedals (dunno if they were available in 9/16″ thread though).
That looks great. Can’t wait to see it with the new rack.
