Description

Jo Routens, a name synonymous with French touring excellence, built frames that demanded a front carrier as robust as the riding itself. This steel porteur rack, designed for 650B wheeled bicycles, channels that same no-compromise mentality. Its functional simplicity — just enough metal where it counts, nothing more — makes it a sought-after piece for period-correct restorations.

French Steel for Long-Haul Reliability

Made in France from cold-formed steel, the rack provides a stable platform for a handlebar bag or small load. The construction is purposeful, with clean welds and a profile that respects the clean lines of a classic touring bicycle. If you’re building up a Routens frameset, this component completes the cockpit as intended. For a different aesthetic, the SPÉCIALITÉS TA front porteur rack for Routens 650B presents an alternative with its own distinctive mounting tabs.
