OK. New project.
I've noticed some of you are in need of a bit of support - some uplift to prevent it all sagging and pendulously oscillating as you honk up the hills.
Today's underwired creation, also aims to keep things pert & shapely.
It was when
this thread, and
this thread appeared adjacent, an idea began to form.
Clare kindly sent me her pizza stone holders that were looking for a use...
...which was bent to shape in the workshop.
Now to attach it to the bike.
an old stem was shimmed to fit the seat tube and a bit of 1" aluminium tube cut to fit in the clamp
Holes were drilled for the wire pizza stone holder...
...and then cut into slots after 1" headset threads were cut on the ends.
The threads are to hold the wire rack in place using headset cap nuts (a plastic cap is used as a final cover).
Assembled on the bike, I found the seatpost strap on the Carradice wa too short to go around the stem, so I added a cable tie loop to hold it. I also added a couple of cable ties around the rack and the saddle rails to ensure the rack doesn't tilt back.
The height of the bag can be changed by sliding the stem up or down on the seatpost, and the angle of dangle can be changed with the handlebar clamp and cable ties.
