[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 51430, member: 49"] Hi Baxter, welcome to the VOC and to the Forum. Nice Rapide! As others will tell you, there have been a variety of custom racks made over the years by a number of people and companies. There was an original Craven rack, a good solid one built by the late Phil Primmer, an excellent one produced about 30 years ago by West London Section Member Tony Wheatley - and vast numbers of one-off home produced ones. Mine is one of the Wheatley ones and I attach a photo or two which might inspire you to build one of your own. The seat is one of the 4 inch longer ones (the original got shorter over the years!). I had to lengthen this rack by that amount. Hmmm, I can't seem to upload files at the moment - I'll try later…... Peter B Bristol, UK. [COLOR=#ff0000]WANTED: Series 'A' Front Frame[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
