[Closed] Racks for a Cotic X

I seem to be spending more and more time commuting on my Cotic X and I am thinking about making it more commuter friendly - specifically putting racks and decent mudguards on it.

Anyone done this? Hard to know which racks will fit properly and none of the local bike shops really go in for rack mounts etc.

Thinking something cheap and cheerful, doesn't need to carry a lot of weight.

It appears to have rack mounts and an IS disc mount from the picture I have found. Any disc compatible rack will work - Tortec Transalp for example.

In that case - same as I got for my Tripster?

Easy to fit, fairly light, does the job, quite cheap.
Or look at Planet X website where stuff like this is sometimes very cheap.

Has it got a top mount? Mine hasn't. I used a nylon clamp designed to fit hand guards to endure bikes. Worked fine

Thanks for the advice. Looking at the photos of the Tortec rack and the Streamliner these wouldn't fit as is without some form of adaptor I don't think - the bolts wouldn't be in the right place.
