Question:

I have an old Trek Y-22 and Y-foil that have solid carbon frames with no downtube, would this rack work for them?

Thank you for the picture. It looks like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 might work with your Trek Y-22 and Y-Foil. Because of the strap style of attachment, it may work with the smaller portion of bottom frame. But I have no way to verify the fitment with your specific bike.

Because of the unique frame and because your frame is made of carbon, I would recommend a wheel mount style bike rack like the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU77FR. This rack mounts by the wheels, which protects your carbon frames and means the frame style does not play a role in fitment.
