Fiamma carry bike! that's what most folk seem to get, they are van specific so fit like glove!
if you can get hold of an early one even better, they were made of stainless so you could put owt you like on it! the new ones are made of ally so won't take quite as much!

Fiamma is great, very user friendly and looks good too, mine is also on all the time. I got mine off ebay for £70 (retail at £130)
Oh yeah, also good for drying towels on when at the beach!

Hi
if you use the Fiamma Carrybike ( a top bit of kit!) you can always add one of these....Halfords were seeling them at £240 but reduced to £50 locally in a sale! Now that is what I call a bargain!
