I have this installed on my Mk III polyvalent and use it to support my rando bag. Mounts well and the included mounting hardware is nice and generous.

The only improvement I'd like to see is an option sold by VO to mount this with Paul Canti brakes without having to make a separate order with Paul Components as I live overseas and multiple international shipments can introduce complications...

Anyway, 5/5 and I am stoked with the rack.

I just rode 420 miles of rough gravel roads and trails. This rack worked perfectly for me. I am very happy with it!

As usual a good value comparable to premium brands. It is of high quality, good finish, and has a wide range installment options.

This gorgeously made rack fits securely on the front of my 80s Maruishi TA-18 alongside a Swift Peregrine Rando Bag. Together they can carry more wine and jambon beurre than you can shake a frame pump at! The cantilever brake mounts and rear tab keep everything nice and secure while not obstructing the front wheel with stays or what have you. I'll admit I've been skeptical of the handlebar bag life for some time but I have seen the light and am never going back. Having a small box and pan brake on hand definitely improved the process of bending the stabilizer tab to fit under the canti straddle cable. One should have a small square and a vise at minimum.

I have too many bikes. One of the problems with owning too many bikes is moving your accessories from one bike to another. I bought my first rando rack to use with the VO Rando bag. I loved it, but I also wanted to be able to use the same bag on different bikes and make the switch quickly, so I bought another rack. That left me with an extra mounting bracket, which I attached to a Wald basket (also bought from VO) using some various hardware I had laying around and a voile strap. Then I could easily switch between rando bag and basket between my 2 main bikes at a moment's notice. Then I built a new bike last weekend, and of course I want to be able to use my basket and bag on the new bike, so that makes 3. If you can think of anything else I can do with the spare mounting bracket, let me know. Also, feel free to steal my idea for a basket that quickly mounts to the decaleur. That secure connection plus a single 12" voile strap along the bottom makes it pretty solid while still easy to remove and install without using zipties.
