The Redline cyclocrosser intended for the CTD has a 3 strut Blackburn with a plywood top bolted on.
The rack wags then rubs strut on a 2.1 Vapor. Barely adequate for grocery runs at 4 miles RT more of a bookbag or lunch carrier. The 3 strut model may be most often seen in Nashbar et al as the standard top end cheep rack.
Could use side plywoods running from seat stays to an angle along the ply top. The good for 25-30 pounds. Need to cure the wag with solid seat post connectors.
