Velo Orange Porteur Front Rack Polished Stainless Steel

$360.00

The VO Porteur Rack is a traditional-style rack as used on the famed Parisian newspaper delivery bikes. Those Parisian delivery bikes were reputed to carry as much as 110lbs. of newspapers on similar racks (of course, the bikes had strengthened frames and forks, not just racks). 

Our Porteur Rack is made from strong stainless steel tubing and polished to a lovely shine. It won’t rust like painted steel racks or fatigue and crack like aluminum racks. The quality is actually superior to that of many custom racks. In short, this is a real load-carrying rack, not an aluminum “style-rack”. Yet total weight with rail, nuts, bolts, etc. is only 1.079kg. 

The platform is about 36cm x 29cm. A removable rail attachment is included and very handy for smaller packages. 

The tangs are pre-drilled to fit 700c, 27″, 26″, and 650b bikes. There are four bosses for a light attachment. There is a boss for securing your fender to the rack — no rattling! Please also note the elegant pannier/tie-down loops above the mounting tangs.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING RACK FITTING

  • Whilst typically not a difficult process, fitting racks is often fiddly and can easily take 30-60 minutes of workshop time
  • Most rack fits will require some degree of cutting, cold-setting, filing or adapting to install properly
  • We are not able to accommodate people installing racks themselves at the shop
  • If you would like us to fit a rack you purchase in-store, please be aware that you will likely need to book a fitting, or leave the bike with us until we have time to squeeze it in
  • If you're purchasing a rack in-store, or collecting an online purchase to install at home, please make sure you have some way to carry it home.

An important note on returns for items that have been fitted

Please note that if this item has been fitted, we are not able to accept it for return. This is because fitting the item to your bike can blemish or mark the product. For more information, please refer to our refunds policy.
If you would like help confirming the suitability or compatibility of this item for you and your bike, please get in touch on (03) 9388 1313 or email us
