Use a non-Faraday rack?

[mikeb172]

I just picked up a Porteur S. I want to put a rear rack on the bike. I am wondering if anyone knows if a regular rack would work or if only the Faraday ones would fit.

Thanks for any info.

Looking at the bike, it has a non-standard location for the mounting points on the seat stays. While there may be a non-Faraday rack that is compatible, when I looked through all the racks that are sold by a the major bicycle wholesaler, I did not see one that is designed like the OEM rack.

Thanks for the reply. I went for the Faraday rack and I think I'll be happy with it.

I have a Topeak disc brake style rear rack on my Faraday Cortland, and it works fine, and mounted fine. Here is a pic of the bike with the rack.
