Cargo
A friend was getting out of the framebuilding business, so I bought the contents of his shop from him. And then I had to get it home on the trek, which was kind of interesting because it was fairly heavy and very unbalanced. It didn’t help that there are COLD gale-force winds today.

I only wish I could get a mill! Even the toy ones (the baby Unimats and 7x10s) cost a pretty penny which I’m not sure I’d be able to recoup unless I ramped up to mass producing racks :-(
Can’t possibly speak to whether or not you want to mass produce racks.
Do know that anything other than the little Nitto front platforms is really hard to find, and that those are too small for 700C bicycles in some respects. So there’s probably some kind of niche market.

My mental image for “framebuilder” is “True North Cycles”, where the shop is populated by a number of half-century old Sheffield milling machines with cast-iron casings, the sort of thing that’s normally moved, if it has to be moved, with a big forklift.
Gave me quite the mental image before I looked up from the text.
