Hi Manny, I think that pic is by Olivier Chételat. For those who don't know, I think he did the artwork on the Cheviot tubes (and I think the Clems), the layout, pics, etc., on the most recent Riv Catalog, among other things. Here's the pic from his Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/olipop/

In the interest of safety, note that a Mark's rack is weight restricted to 4.5 lbs., I think, according to the RBW site's description of it. And the RBW site gives very strong warnings about not overloading the racks they sell. Read here: http://www.rivbike.com/Racks-s/114.htm -- You received t
