 The Rack for a 27" Bike! October 27, 2008
Do your research first. This rack was NOT designed for most of today's newer bikes. This rack was designed for the "Old School" bikes with 27" wheels, such as a Schwinn Varsity or World Sport. I installed mine on a Fuji Sagres 12 speed made roughly in the early to mid 80's. Instructions? Who needs 'em? This is easy to install - it took me about 15 minutes...tops. The connecting brace attaches to the rear brake assembly. Just take off the rear reflector & put the brace where the bracket for the old reflector was. You can then attach the reflector to the rear of the rack when completed. I'll try to include some photos. While you're at it...buy a new Avenir Saddle (seat).Avenir Groove Dual Saddle (Black/Grey, Groove Dual (M))

 Not worth the shipping cost August 16, 2008

Do not try to save a few dollars buying this rack. Shipping will cost you anyway and the rack is not worth the few dollars it cost. It would not mount on my bike due to not having the proper hardware included. My wife's bike has the single center hole this rack MUST have to be mounted, but the metal piece that connects the rack to the hole on the bike is not long enough so the rack can not be mounted level. The short attachment piece means it is tipped quite a bit forward of level. Tipped a few degrees forward might be good, but this is tipped WAY forward and is as far back as the piece allows.
Also, the rack comes with 4 bolts and two nuts. You might think one bolt and nut to connect the bar to the bike, one bolt and nut to connect the front of the rack to the bar, and two bolts to thread into the holes right above where the rear tire connects. If they fit, that might work. The two bolt without nuts were too small to thread into the bike frame. The bolt and nut was too short to reach through the hole to connect the "bar" to the bike frame below the seat... Out of 4 bolts, only 1 could possibly be used so when thinking about the price of this rack add in the cost of a trip to the hardware or bike store to get bolts that actually work. What a waste of time. You get what you pay for with this rack. A CHEAP piece of junk.
Nice rack, hardware WAS included. June 26, 2008
Nice, sturdy rack, perfect with the pair of Wald grocery baskets. After reading the reviews, I ordered a hardware package also, thinking it would not come with one. It did have the hardware package (no instructions), and worked fine. Now I have an extra set of hardware "just in case."
 Good rack...not so good hardware. June 18, 2008
I purchased this rack along with the recommended hardware and all I can say is that it was useless to get it. It already came with a set (accident?). The nuts and bolts that it did come with were way to short for them to work on my Schwinn mountain bike. I am going to have to go to the hardware store to purchase 3 new nuts and bolts to make it work. Installation was pretty straightforward after figuring out what direction the bike rack was suppose to face. I would purchase again, just without the hardware pack.
