Not for short frame bikes!

The rack is extremely easy to install. Great for someone short like myself. Light and easy to lift, fold the arms up and down, etc. The problem is that the bars are so far apart and the cradles so large that I don't have a single bike that fits on the darn thing. The hard plastic destroyed the paint on my one bike just trying to jam it on there. I ride a Cannondale Optimo (50 cm) and it doesn't fit. My other cruiser Trek doesn't fit either. If the bars were just a little closer or the cradles weren't huge and hard plastic it would be an awesome rack, but if you are shorter, I'd make sure your frame is long enough before wasting the time and money.
