All,
I have a 1upUSA aluminum hitch mount bike rack for sale. I will be posting
this on Craigslist shortly, but wanted to give OBRAites first crack at it.
Here are the particulars:
- easily configured to carry 2, 3, or 4 bikes (a 5th tray may still be
available from the manufacturer, it's rated to work with 5 bikes)
- tray style carrying arrangement (odd shape, sizes, MTBs with
suspension, etc... all work on it)
- tray arms rotate/fold up for storage (not shown in pix below)
- super durable extremely bomb proof construction (meaning: it ain't the
lightest out there, but it'll last forever)
- 2" receiver mount (i.e. Class IV)
- supports 200 lbs worth of bikes
- extremely fast to add/remove bikes to the rack - a few seconds flat
- I *always* get lots of compliments about my "nice rack" at any race I
go to
- folds up while not in use
- folds down to access the rear hatch
- holds the bikes by the tires
- comes with a special tightening tool that also is a theft prevention
measure, you can't take the rack off without the tool
- tightening tool also reduces sway/jiggle of the rack in the receiver
hitch
- each tray ascends at a slight angle to prevent smashing the rack into
the ground/pavement over bumps or driveways
- rack is 100% made and assembled in the good ole U.S. of A.
For OBRA members - I am asking $400. When I post it on Craigslist, I will
be asking $425. A new version of this rack system would cost $896 - except
they don't make the new version for 4 bikes - only 3 now.
