As mentioned above, this is about roof racks. For instance, one that i would want to put on my car. ive checked out yakima's, and they have exactly what i need: basic stuff with capabilities for a bike on the top. unfortunately, the deal was priced at $320 friggin kahunas! there's gotta be a cheaper way to do this. just one bike on my roof is all i need, nothing more, for now anyway. any suggestions? i know a lot of you have custom stuff, which i wouldnt mind, considering it would be cheaper than the yakimas by a lot. thanks, skeet

Hey man ive got a used yakima with 2 places for bikes. Its a little worn but still in good shape. I think it needs a new key too, it came with my car and i never got a key for it. But id let it go for a lot less then $320. Let me know.

i'd be interested if you were more local. wanna take a roadtrip? i have not the time/money/patience/energy for travelling long distances right now, and i want one before i go up to wash. area next summer. sorry, unless theres some way we can work this out easier.

well the damn thing breaks down... the longest thing in it is like 3 feet tops and it can all fit into a pretty small box considering... I dont think shipping would really be that much and youd definately be savin off of $320

I bought a Thule roof rack for my wifeswagon a couple years ago. we really liked it . the price was about half the cost of the Yakima http://www.thuleracks.com

I use the thule rack I got years ago for my Saab.. I jusrt had to buy new feet for it for the wagon.. I oaid about $35 for the original setup with feet and crossbars on eBay.. then another $35 for the subaru feet.. I got the bike rack attachments really cheap on eBay too

oh i thought you said you had it worked out with the differnt towers on ebay.

but that wasnt even you!

dont want to cut you out

you will probably hate this but i found a complete thule roof rack system (2 bike holder trays and front wheel holders) at a flea market. i realized quickly the seller had no idea what he had so i offered him $10.00 for the whole thing and he took it. that was the greatest shopping day of my life. saved well over $350.00. what is my point? you never know what you might find at the local flea market.

And I was Just over in that area two months ago (Sanford, N.C). The deals I could have had....Someday...:-\

IDK about the bike attatchment but Mudrat79 is a fabrication master. I'd be willing to bet he could build one for a whole lot less than new.

unfortunately im fresh out of flea markets. we do got some cockaroaches tho...:cool:
