Excellent! The Watanabe is definitely minimalist. I'm not sure I could get a shirt into what it would support. Yours "local builder" rack is the platonic ideal of the tubus tara. Even with the loop it seems light and tight without the rotating joint and lower curvature of the tara. And of course fitting without clamps makes a big difference. It's like the Nitto "Mini" versus the "Mark's" on a canti-studded bike. Nothing against the Mark's! I have one on the back of one of my bikes with a Platrack and love it. But on a canti-studded fork, the Mini approaches the platonic ideal, especially as a platform for TrunkSack-style bags or simple baskets. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean
