I'll have to admit that I used a Pletcher rack for a couple years on my PX-10 back in the day. It was my first good bike and there really weren't a lot of choices available within biking distance at the time. Lots of electrical tape to cushion the tubes and that little T shaped bracket to keep it from slipping. They were in good shape when removed. ... Now who in the He** would want the dead weight of a kick stand!!!??? ++++++++++++++++++++ Well, many of us committed the sin of Pletscher, before Blackburn appeared (or we found Claud Butler racks). Indeed, if those in pursuit of purity find themselves one fitting shy of a sixpack (to mix metaphors), I still have a modest collection of Pletscher fitments, and even the odd stay clasp for your Blackburn... Price would be a reasonable donation to the wooljersey maintenance fund. I'll generously (?) pay shipping.
