Silkroad
The silkroad is an extremely robust travel bike; for its design the "less is more" principle was the main focus. By integrating the rack into the mainframe weak points you typically find on most bikes (like braze-ons and screws) are eliminated offering greater strength at the same time. The geometry of the rack is a stress optimized design. By the integration of the rack into the main frame the weight could be reduced and the resistance increased at the same time.
