Can you send me a picture of how I would attach a girls bike without the cross bar to the Malome bike rack?

Expert Reply:

In order to transport a girl's bike (or any bike with alternative style frames) to a hanging rack like the Malone Runway 4 Bike Rack # MAL72VR, you will just need a bike frame adapter bar. I recommend the Kuat # UB01 because of how easy it installs.

This will connect to your bike's seat post and handlebar stem post to provide a horizontal attachment point for the bike rack. This will ensure level transport and improved ground clearance. I have included an image that shows how this works along with a video demonstration so you can see exactly how it installs.
