Hi there,
Unfortunately my rear pannier rack is bent beyond repair so I need a replacement. This is the bike I am traveling with, so I need a rack that's not just for show.
Issues:
-
I'd rather keep the front high/lowrider as is, that however limits my options for a rear rack if I wanna keep the silver(ish) colour, as most racks nowadays are black.
-
I could replace the front rack and get a Tubus Grand Expedition in the front and a matching Gran Tour or Logo Classic in the rear. Colour would be black and it would be the most expensive option.
-
I could go with a silver or inox variant of Tubus Logo Classic, but I am unsure if the colour matches the front rack at all.
Blackburn racks are hard to come by in Germany, Tubus is somewhat available…
Any other recommendations? I am somewhat stuck…

I would look into what [Blue Lug](https://global.bluelug.com/bicycle/rack.html) has; they offer a pretty nice selection of brands, including Tubus and Nitto.
If you’re not averse to spending more money, [Cycles Manivelle](https://cyclesmanivelle.com/en/boutique/racks-baskets/luggage-rack-custom-made/) out of France will sell you a fully custom rack to your measurements and specifications; they’re a bit under €400 to start but look like they’re pretty great quality.
No recommendations, just wanted to praise your awesome bike!
The Tubus Fly is a good looking rack if it suits your needs. Btw what tire clearance do you get with that frame? Iam also in the market for a Touring Deluxe.
