Jim: First of all, beware the slippery slope you are about to descend. Once you've put a rack on one bike, you'll never be able to turn back. Racks and luggage are addictive, and there's no 12 step program to get you off them.
If you're as minimalist as you say, look at adapting Mark's rack (from Riv) to a rear mount and use the small Saddlesack trunk bag or Lil Loafer. I've used a Nitto (same platform as Mark's) as a saddlebag support. A small tunk bag will hold wallet, phone, keys, lunch, tube & levers, and maybe a shell. The other option if you dis-like the look of a rack is a small saddle bag such as one from Acorn http://www.acornbags.com/medbag.html or others who make bags to mount to the saddle & seat post. Not sure if Riv still has anything small. Velo Orange may well have some cool stuff too. dougP On Nov 20, 5:15 pm, jim_OLP <j...@landoloons.com> wrote: > Most people seem to be looking for the strongest rear rack they can > find.
