<<Has anyone bought a Trotter Bike Racks from Italy that
is on Steve's site?  They look very simular to the
Paulchen but a lot cheaper.  I would be interested in
any feed back, good or bad.  Steve do you have any
more info on the Trotter rack, or any good feed back
from customers.

Getting ready for the spring.

Todd,
I've sold a few of the Trotter racks and have one on my '93 EV.  They work
well, and are very close to the Fiamma racks.  Both racks come from Italy and
share some of the same fittings.

I am now switching to the Fiamma racks, now that they offer a model that
doesn't require drilling.  The older Fiamma racks required the installation
of a bracket on the bottom of the rear hatch.

I'll be updating my web pages with the new Fiamma racks soon.

BTW, the Trotter rack says to only use with Bicycles and not to carry any
other items.  Weight limit is rated at 50 kg.  There are luggage carrier
options available with the Fiamma racks.
