Hi all, I bought this rack for my 1981 Univega gran turismo for one main purpose. A while back before I purchased the rack, I purchased a dog carrier bag that was to be self supporting, (22 lbs). I did not like the bottom support as it is poorly designed.
To overcome this, I set out looking for a rack that would fit the criteria. It had to be able to support the weight, sit at the correct height, and have the correct dimensions. Luckily, I found the State Bicycle website and this porteur rack. It was the perfect match. Perfect fit, strength and style.
I had to bend the bracket that holds the rack to the forks ever so slightly to get that perfect fit. Really quite simple. The only other issue was that I had to replace the two metric screws (included), that secure the rack to the fork eyelets with larger metric screws that fit my particular fork. This was a non issue for me as two screws cost just pennies.
I have put several miles on my bicycle with my dog since adding this rack and am quite happy. I even rode to my brother's house for Thanksgiving carrying cranberry relish and apple pie on my new rack with ease. This is a generous size rack able to carry various size loads.
The instructions included are very thorough and easy to follow making this a very simple installation. I couldn't be happier with my purchase from State Bicycle and very fast shipping.
It was at my door before I knew it.
Thank you State Bicycle.

Great little rack. Very bare bones and clean. Bolts on easily. *******in all the right places. Functional as fu*%

I was a little disappointed in the quality of this rack. It is much cheaper than other front racks so I guess you get what you pay for. The finishing is very rough, there are sharp edges and even some early signs of rust. I probably would spend more next time and get a better rack.

I was shopping for a front porteur style rack for my "around town" bike and the options were pretty expensive. Then I found the State Bicycle Co Porteur Rack at an very good price. It mounted easily and it's very sturdy, of steel construction. Rough edges someone said; haven't seen them yet. The rack does its job perfectly; highly recommended!

I use it to support a basket in pic.

SAME THING as the 160$ Velo Orange Rack, but for 40$. Strong, comes with mounting material and does the job well. fits my 27inch-wheeled peugot with drop bars well.

The item was received on time and fits perfect on my great. The instructions we're a bit confusing (I didn't end up using them, it was very easy to assemble) and the rack looked like it was gift wrapped by my 2 year old, but the product itself is stellar.

I love it. Good quality and came fast too. And I’m in Canada! Would purchase again for another bike

A few rough edges but overall a stout and functional rack. Easy to assemble and stylish side struts.

Installed a couple days ago on my Kona Rove ST with fenders. The metal extender part that attaches the rack to the head tube was tricky to install on first attempt -- it pushed down on my fender and inhibited tire movement! Oops. Started over & fixed that. So far so good. Wish I knew how much weight this rack is weighted for, but guess we'll see! Good price on a pretty rack.

I got this rack and put it on a Schwinn heavy duti. It was a good fit. Very minor hardware issues. This rack works very well with an old Harley bag I have and paid a ton of money for. It is a good front rack!
