I met a guy with this rack. It is simply beautiful, sturdy, and stainless steel. You can get them from The Touring Storeat a discount.

I have a Tubus Tara (the picture is of a Duo). The Tara is solid and well built and, to me anyway, is quite lovely

Well worth the investment and won't interfer with more modern attachment systems.
