Northof49ncold, Rivendell Bicycle Works sells the Mark's Rack. Here is a link to the page.
http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/r1.htm The Mark's Rack page has 5 photos of the Mark's Rack. 4 of those 5 photos show the rack installed on the bicycle. All 4 of those photos show the rack set up with triangulated double struts (which is not possible with an M18) and a Manny Strap installed. On that page, Rivendell says the rack is rated to carry 4.4lbs. Why are you shaming Rivendell Bicycle Works again?
