What's wrong with low riders? Those are better.

You can get racks that attach to bikes w/o formal rack attachments.

Example: Tubus Fly with a quick release adapter. I think Delta and Old Man Mountain have options too.

Talk to Wayne at www.thetouringstore.com he'll help you figure it out and sell you good racks at reasonable prices.
