Question Qorner: Rack Update and a Peek at the Process
Question Qorner is back to answer another one of the most common queries from our inbox. This week we've got a good one from Reilly.

Howdy!
I just ordered a PBJ from you this weekend. I was wondering what the status might be for the rear rack you seem to be designing for it? I do quite a bit of overnight trips and will be looking to put a rear rack on this bike. I was hoping you might be able to give me a clue as to when they might be available and if I might be able to pre-order one.
Thanks!

Thanks for asking, Reilly! Adam has been hard at work with the rear rack. The usual order of events goes like this:
We are testing the first factory samples right now and making a few more revisions before we finalize the design. These racks are going to fit the PBJ perfectly. They'll also fit great on your Tall Tale, SuperSomething, and other bikes with rack mounts on the seat stays!
Here's a photo John Watson took of Adam making one of the first prototypes:

And here's a photo of the latest sample that we're currently testing:
