Frames
If you are planning on attaching racks to your bike (to hold the panniers carrying your equipment), your frame must include braze-ons, which are sockets welded to the frame that the rack screws into. Both of the frames listed below include braze-ons. If your frame does not include braze-ons, you will need to carry your equipment using a Trailer.
