[Baha (Shawn)]

I've been chatting with Claire over in London. She & the family are doing well after about a year. Anyway she told me about an amazing local shop.

Damn Ant!

Theres your solution! A Roo Bar!

Mounts to the chassis & bumper & mounts tire!

We can make it or they sell em on Samba

I forgot all about it

[grungeant (Anthony)]

hmm...
Maybe. How much do they cost?
I was trying to figure out a way to mount a bicycle rack like the ones on the front of the Septa buses.
I have a an older version of this bike rack

I wonder if a cross piece could be welded to the roo bar under the bumper with a receiver?
Or would it not be strong enough?
I didn't really like the receiver that mounted to the tow eyes.

I didn't see any for sale on The Samba, but I found a post where people were talking about them. they had a picture that may even be that same brown bus, but I'm not sure. Anyways, i think it looks kind of weird from the side with the tire so far forward like that.
I kind of like this one because it tucks back closer to the body.

doublethumb the tuck.

Thats easy... Spare tire mounted bike rack



I wouldn't worry about something sticking out a foot or two...
Cars have 6' long front ends the bus' is 6". it has no bearing on driveability

[grungeant (Anthony)]

I'm more worried about it looking weird than affecting drivability.
I don't really like the pieces that go around the headlights either. I don't think my bus has a nerdy personality that goes with the Sponge Bob glasses.
But if something could be made for a reasonable price that tucks back closer to the body that was basically the middle piece with a tire mount, and a receiver under the bumper I'll start pondering it.

How much do you think something like that would be, and who fabricates such stuff?
