The Randonneur fits most bikes with regular saddles. The minimum clearance required between the seat rails and the top of the bicycle seat tube is 4 inches (10 cm) for the short configuration and 7 inches (18 cm) for the long configuration.
The outer frame is made of 10mm diameter aluminum tubing. Seat rail support is virtually unbreakable reinforced nylon.

The seatpost support made of Santoprene acts as a shock absorber to absorb shocks. Consider driving a nail with a rubber mallet instead of a regular hammer. This greatly reduces the impact on your bike components and smooths the ride of the bike.
While beam racks clamped only to the seat post tend to pivot around the post when the rear of the rack is pushed sideways, the two mounting points of the Randonneur rack provide exceptional lateral stability.
The Randonneur is ideal for transporting our very popular Pelican rear bag, or indeed any trunk bag.
The reinforced nylon saddle rail bracket is designed so that the nylon wings of the bracket will bend slightly if ever the quick release mechanism is overtightened. This prevents damage to the saddle rails.
The flexible seat post holder simply presses against the seat post. It is not tight like regular Beam Racks. There is no risk of denting the seat post and a simple wrap of electrical tape can be applied to the seat post contact area to maintain a perfect finish to the seat post.
