| Does anyone in the Portland area have a Disco compatable, hitch mounted bike rack I could buy or borrow for the next two weeks? We are going to SunRiver for a few days, and I'm tired of the production invovled in trying get all four bikes in, or on top of the car. If I still had an SD rack, it would be different.... Anyway, I'm interested in buying one, but I'm not sure I can find one on Craig's List before the end of the week. We'll probably be in town till Sunday afternoon, then head over the mountains. Thanks! |

| Unfortunately this is only good for two: craiglist Thule T2 . TheKuats seem to be getting good reviews as well. And finally, if you're real serious there are the1UPUSA racks. Somehow, I think you are looking for something a bit more, er, low cost.  A |

| I can lend you one, but I think it only accomodates 2 bikes. |

| Yeah, I don't want to spend too much money because, well they are overpriced at retail, and I'm not sure if I REALLY want one yet. I just know I've tried other options.
Todd, if I don't find one before then, would you be around on Saturday afternoon? |

| I'll be camping but can leave it outside for you and leave directions. I'm in Lake Oswego. |

| You're extremely frightening.
BUT!
I may take you up on that offer -- which way are you headed for camping? If you have an empty hitch, you could put it on and I could meet you some place if that's easier for you. Besides, I might go klepto on all your cool Rover stuff if you let me wander around your house unguarded. ;)
I'll let you know. Thanks... uh... Todd... er... |

| I'm headed to the Coast range. If I change plans and go east it would be towards Bend. If I'm missing any sporting gear, Rover stuff, or lacy undergarments I'll be looking for you Ben!  |

| Cool, that's the one I want, so it would be really great of you to let me borrow it for the week! I'll PM you on Thursday or Friday. |

| See! This is what I'm dealing with, this is the type of stuff you run into when just trying to find a bike rack! LINK I feel much more comfortable borrowing one from a normal guy like Todd before making the decision to buy. |
