Anyone got any recommendations? Looking for something to mount one, maybe two, mountain bikes on. Don't want to spend silly money!!

I recently bought a trials bike rack from www.davecooper.co.uk but they also do cycle racks. Good quality and prices and you can have them zinc plated for an extra £8. HTH

Looks like they are just tow hook fitting though - I don't have one!

Gaj, I've got a cuople that sit on the back bumper with straps that work fine for me. Ok for one or two bikes. You are more than welcome to try / borrow to see how they go. Only downside is what they can do to painwork. I've only used them on the Beamer so I wasn't over concerned. Let me know what you think.

Very kind of you Malcolm, I may well take you up on that. You obviously haven't seen the state of my paintwork lately!

Gaj just e mail me when you want to try. I can stick em in the boot and drop off at Easter road on my way past.

Thanks Malcolm. Actually got one on Sunday - Edinburgh Bicycles Revolution. Fits perfectly! Off to Glentress on Saturday to christen it.

Thanks again for the offer!

Edinburgh Bike is one of my favourite bike shops. They make decent gear that's not too expensive.

Bought a bike from them for my missus two years ago and I bought a Specialized Hard Rock at the same time (from a different shop) - the Edinburgh bike is just as good as my Specialized and it was about 100 quid cheaper.
