It has been a long time coming.
Or perhaps I should say, I have been pining for it.
The item I fell in love with at first sight when I saw the initial sample has finally arrived.

With impressive specs and attention to detail, it’s exactly what you’d expect from Simworks by NITTO.
There are two M6 threaded holes on the front.
You can use these to attach a light mount or your own custom-made accessories.
There is an M5 eyelet on the underside of the rack.
It’s perfect for securing a fender neatly.
The side rails, intended for bungee cords, can of course also be used to attach panniers (though they must be on the smaller side, haha).
Rack adapter bolts for mounting to cantilever bosses are also included.
I can't recall ever seeing a front rack that is neither too big nor too small, yet still manages to stir the imagination like this one.
For those who feel a connection to this rack, this might be unnecessary to say, but
combining it with the Simworks by NITTO On The Road adds even more character.
You could place your gear directly on the rack and strap it down.
You could attach a small wooden crate and put your things inside.
You could even have a custom bag made by your favorite bag maker to fit it perfectly.
Ah, there are just so many things I want to do with it.
