    Once upon a time......

    Alas, David's married, relocated to Florida, is back in industrial construction scheduling. TRG is no more......


    SD went through a bankruptcy, relocated production into eastern Europe. Last I checked, they haven't resumed roof-rack production, but they did have their cages available. All of the previous US distributors (TRG, EE, and the racing place up in NJ... what was it's name?), I believe, had their supplies dwindled down, and no one in the US is getting them back in (yet).

      Have any pics of the frame mounting? It looks well done.

            FRAME MOUNTING




            Still no paint, but wondered whether we should mount here or the outrigger...seemed like the strongest spot.

                  Funny, when I saw that reply to this ancient thread, I instinctively ran the username through StopForumSpam.com to check if it came up as a known spammer. It didn't.
