I have a Rawlands demi- porteur rack on the way for my Sam with centerpulls.
I was assured by Rawlands that the rack will work with a spacer washer to 
clear the headset...we'll see.
They also said the Rawlands is good for 22LBS.

I think I'd prefer a bolt tab on the strut as opposed to a nice looking
weld. It is a good looking rack, tho, and I'm going to Pedel Revolution to
check one out.

The Nitto M12 should bolt right up to your cantilever posts (and it comes
with the required double-ended brake bolts).  It's also the cheapest Nitto
mini front rack, available for less than $80 new.

It works great as a platform for a medium Wald, like any Nitto mini front
rack.  It also seems (my opinion) stronger than the mini front racks like
the M1 or M18 which have adjustable hardware and diving board crown mounts.
