Nice thread Matt, finally posting on it

I currently have a 1969 Schwinn Paramount Road bike. I still run tubular sew up tires on the Mavic rims. Full Campagnolo Record, Cinnelli Stem, bars and seat post.

I also have a semi run of the mill Trek aluminum frame road bike. Great bike for $700 I must say.

In the past I used to Olympic style track race at the Northbrook IL and Kenosha WI velodromes. Used to have a Paramount track bike and also one made by Oscar Watson.

I do have the occasion to haul three bikes and am considering a Thule Helium. Of course this means I'd have to install a hitch. I'm looking at one made by Valley. Valley Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver V58630 : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com Has anyone out there had any experience with this hitch?
I'm choosing the helium rack and this particular hitch because it seems to offer the most weight savings.
Oh I have that exact hitch, I like it a lot.It appealed to me a lot more than the ones with the bar that spans most of the rear end. Have it off for the moment as I wanted to neatly run my airlines for my air shocks. I'll have to put it on fairly soon to tow my snowmobile.

Anyone in the NY area doing the NYC bike tour this year? Come through.

Btw I'm sure this has already been asked but what bike racks do you guys recommend for the GE8?
