New rack day
I finally dragged the mlcm out to the garage this afternoon for a quick brazing session, and it came back with the new rack glued to the rack struts and fork crown support.
The midlifecrisismobile is back on line now, yay, and I can rotate the project bike into the back room for a while while I see how the new rack and low-trail fork work out in city riding and on brevets.
(There’s still a small punchlist to be done before it’s actually finished; I need to
- braze on a (left-side) light mount
- braze on two strut braces
- braze on a couple of standoffs to mount the front fender to
- re-true the rear wheel
- fish the lighting wires up the inside of the right fork blade
- fish the cycle computer wires up the inside of the left fork blade
- maybe braze in a couple of wire guides? I’ll have to think about that…
before I can take it out on anything longer than a fast populaire. But that’s a much smaller checklist than the one that also includes making a rack.)

Something’s missing-what is it? I might remember if I look at the day!

That looks pretty darn solid.
