Rear Rack suggestions

[spyfoxy]

Hey guys, any suggestions for a rear rack? Specifically for the Streetfox, but any general thoughts are welcome. :o

Definitely going to want to attach baskets or bags to it as well.

Here's the one I bought for MY tadpole. They claim it'll fit nearly any bike or trike in the universe, & they're prolly not far from right:

Good price on it right now, too!

From what I see, you could just extend the tube over the rear wheel to the sides with smaller tubing to hold bags or panniers. That was the plan for my Meridian until I had the accident. You could see the tube over the rear wheel on the pic:

If money is no real obsticle, here is one that claims to be able to hold quite a lot of weight, either in objects or even adult passengers. There is even a slide show that shows pics of people hauling several different sized and shaped objects.....even very large boxes.

I wonder if something like this can be built?

Good find, Wiz. I haven't seen that one before. They've got some other pretty kool accessories, too.

It's a rear triangle with a rack welded to it, with a mod that allows it to be bolted to the original dropouts, kinda sorta like the bike to trike conversion. I doubt that it would work on the Streetfox, but one like it could be made to be welded on the mainframe and the seat post. I'd rather build a tailbox like the one on fleettrikes.com than an intricate rack.
