I bought this rack for use on my full-size touring bike, and it works great on that bike. But when I got the Bike Friday, I needed a front rack for that bike, so I just borrowed the rack from my full size bike and it worked just fine.

It doesn't appear to be the BF front rack- the supports seem well placed at least from what I can see in the picture. I'm desperately seeking an alternative to BF's $100 front rack and i'm confined to online purchases because of the shortcomings of my local bike shops (none of them seem to carry front racks at all) and I don't want to buy something that won't fit! any information or suggestions are much appreciated! hello,

I’ve purchased and download the book, it’s a pretty good book that’ll no doubt be invaluable for my coming tour.

Is there any chance of a Kindle (or eBook) format so its easier to read rather than a pdf?

It is more of an off-road touring bike than a traditional touring bike, so it really just depends on where you plan to go while on your travels. If you are going to be on roads mainly then you might benefit from another type of bike. But if you plan to go off-road or travel on a load of dirt/gravel streets, then the Kona Sutra might just be perfect. Romain, the Kona Sutra is a good bike.
