Hi Everyone
I am currently buying my first "real" bike. I am inching towards a cyclocross since it seems to offer the best combination of comfort and other factors. I looking at the the Specialized Tricross, there are mounting points, which I can use to mount a rack - that is important to me since I'll also be using the bike to commute to work. it addition that bike has braze-ons for mounting fenders, which seem like a good idea during the wet weather.
However, if I dropped my requirement of mounting points, there are a lot more bikes I could chose from. Is there another way to mount a bike rack, if the bike does not come with braze-ons? I know they sell something that attaches to the seat post - but that seems flimsy. Or is it? Any advice?
Thanks for reading.
Thanks.
