Tentative Pass. It looks okay and fit both locks. I didn't have a 2x4 handy though.
Jeff Miller and Andrea Ruggiero
Even without the advertising plate, this one failed. The dimensions just didn't work with my bike, and my crank hit the base, preventing me from getting the bike in closer. It was already rusting too.
Next Phase Studios
Fail. I couldn't get two U-locks on it. I think it may turn yellow over time, there's a lot of space in between the plastic sheath and the actual cable. The good thing was that you cannot work this design loose by rocking it back and forth. The whole thing flexes.

DAMMIT. PASS! I can't believe it! The one I was hating on the most last night was GREAT!
It's the perfect size, appears to be anchored securely, and even holds the bike on the right angle! Truly a nice rack.
Open Thread Design
Fail. I couldn't get my top tube under the bar here to get my seat tube/wheel secured. Perhaps if there weren't already 2 bikes on it. Though, it's probably meant to hold 4. Sadly, they didn't install the Signpost version of this rack. I had such high hopes for this one.
Well.. That concludes my early morning rack attack. Which basically proves you cannot judge a rack by its render.. or some other joke involving the word 'rack'.
The full flickr set is HERE. Now I've just got to mail my findings to David Byrne and I can get on with my day.
