Just need to get my mountain bike rack mounted on the other side...will need a more custom clamp as the cross bar is larger than the Yakima crossbar...

great work!
Looks like I will have room for my surfboard and bike. West marine has mine on backorder right now.
I appreciate you being the ball and making it happen. Your research is very helpful!

Yep...its old, like me...vintage...and also right about it being record gruppo and SPD...I'm a mountain biker at heart, plus its way easier to walk with SPD cleats on my Sidi's

Frame is a custom Spectrum Ti made by Merlin and designed by Tom Kellogg...super comfortable, internally routed cables, beautiful welds...

i was a MTBiker until i crashed one too many times. when i did both MTB and road, all bikes had TIME ATAC for precisely the same reason as yours. walking and i just need one type of cleats.

full suspension has made it a lot easier compared to when I first started...and body armour has kept me relatively unscathed on the North Shore...lol

tracking and mountain biking serve the same purpose for me...hunting apexes forces me to concentrate 100% and live in the moment...and both will reward or punish you based on your understanding of physics...

GT3 has central exhaust, can't use a tow hitch mounted rack. Only option on GT3 is a suction type mount as long as you have no pff.

This isn't tow hitch, though. It is tow eye receiver.

Yes, would need a spacer to stand off from center exhaust.
