I was afraid to ask.....

Maybe he was mauled by a bear partway through the post? Seems to be happening some up here in WA. Should we call 911?

He's from Cali. We'll need a translator.

 

Doh! I was supposed to have attachments and it got scrambled somewhere in the mix. I'm alive and well, thanks for your concern :-)

Pacific Bicycle has the Transit Xpress adjustable, lockable fork mount bike rack for sale for $50. This fit the bed of my '65 very well. The base rack comes with two 9mm QR mounts. I added a couple of wheel mounts for $20ea. and some RockMounts Driveshaft HM fork mounts for my 15mm thru-axel mountain bikes. The Driveshaft lockable mounts happen to fit the Transit Xpress bases with a couple of 6mm bolts, so I have two lockable mounts for the $$ bikes, and two quick release mounts for the kids bikes.

The base rack mounts in about 20 seconds and is easily removed.

Some more technical info, for those who are interested: The Rockymounts Driveshaft HM comes with track mount hardware that is unnecessary. I ordered them directly from the manufacturer without the track mounts at a $20ea. discount. The Driveshaft HM base has three mounting holes, the center hole is covered by the locking clasp when locked. The Transit Xpress mounting base has the two outer holes, but no center hole. I drilled and tapped a 6mm hole through the Transit Xpress mounting plate and into the Transit Xpress crossbar, so once the Driveshaft HM is closed and locked, there is one inaccessible bolt and thus no way to remove the mount without breaking/unlocking it. I also ordered a couple of 15mm Yakima thru-axle skewers (#8002110) for the wheel mounts at $15 a pop so my 15mm hubs fit the Transit Xpress 9mm QR wheel mounts. You can also get locking skewers and cannibalize the parts from the skewer adapters. I'm just using a loop cable to the Driveshaft base. The Rockymounts Driveshaft HM base fits 12mm, 15mm and 20mm axles.
