It's just a fact. Stainless steel is sexy. This rack has a stainless frame that is sturdy enough for almost anything you can throw at it. My conservative load limit recommendation is 70lbs, which, unless you are very strong and have excellent handling skills, is more than enough. Not just a pretty face with beefy arms either, it can fold for boxing and travel, is modular in case you decide to add or remove features. And you can customize the top plate if you want it anodized, silk screened, made of wood, or if you have other ideas. Prêt à Porteur is compatible with almost any type of steel fork, but requires a solid axle (bolt on) hub to carry the full load recommendation if the fork does not have TOP eyelets. Starts at $140.
