I feel like the roll rack might hold up to longer wear/tear than my Topeak, but the Topeak fits better with less fuss if you use the longer arms. The downside is that the Topeak arms are chrome versus the black rack, but it might be worth spray painting for looks. (I still need to do this to mine.)

I ended up with the Topeak and some bolts I picked up from the hardware store. Also bought the longer mounting arms. It’s been working great!

Wow, that is really tall for a medium if it doesn’t fit you. Yeah, I had to find a small frame to test ride at 5’4”.

I preferred the more sportier styling of the T10, but yeah, they both rode great!

I have to wait for the police report to be available before I know how much insurance will cover. My new ride will look exactly the same as my old one! Same color and everything.

Yep. Been cruising the used listings since it was stolen. Haven’t seen a single one in a small frame, yet.

It’s being built, but yeah, my shop that sold me the first took pity on me and sold me their last one in stock. Lucky! The Gazelle wouldn’t have been here until March, at the earliest.

I can’t get one of those either. The wait list isn’t as long, but it would be many months.

Thank you! This is really helpful. It’s looking like the Como they had in stock has a bad motor, so we’re waiting on a replacement. Gives me time to order a rack, though!

I tried the Medeo T10+. It’s a great bike, but I ended up going back to the Como. It’s a better motor, in my opinion, and the Gazelle would have taken 2-3 months to obtain.

Thanks so much! Once my bike arrives I’ll measure and take a look.

Thanks! My knee needs the stronger motor, although I preferred the sportier style of a different frame. Hopefully I can get my hands on a Vado SL next year.

I don’t think those are standard. The last one I bought had no racks.

I'll have to start participating! Ouch, that's a bummer. Were you able to replace it? I'm also interested in getting our bikes out and about.

Haha! Some of us put our bikes through hell, to be sure. My fenders did not have long for this world. Glad I'm not alone in putting the Como through its paces. It's a beast and can take the licking and keep on ticking!

Oh, another option you might try is searching for bags/baskets for bikeshare. A lot of people use bikeshare rentals like Lyft bikes for grocery-getting and need front rack gear that suits that purpose.

I'd think any wire basket fitting the dimensions of the rack would work. You could maybe even use strong velcro straps or silicon bands for a quicker release function if you wanted something with handles to carry. If you're after a bag maybe look into the ones that food delivery folks use...

Could be! I think I smacked it rolling off a curb. I'm not used to having a long fender like that in front, for sure.

Good question, Stefan! I'm honestly not sure. I suspect the LBS may have swapped fenders on accident or something. It's the bike in front. (Sigh, I miss it.) You can see my boyfriend's Como 4.0 XL behind it with a different fender style.

They had a lot of pandemic supply chain issues. I found a Roll rack and managed to finally make it work on my Como with a lot of cursing, adding longer bolts, and some washers, but it was never a great rack on that bike. It sat too close to the seat and wanted to mount inside the frame, which...
