Rack help.

First off, let me say that yes, I did search. Maybe I used the wrong nomenclature, or whatever, but I came up with jack squat.

Also, might not exactly pertain to this specific forum, but I think it works. After all, it is a single speed, and with the amount of traffic in this forum, I figured, "Why not?"

Recently I picked up a Trek Cruiser Classic for my wife. Step through frame. Cool looking, whatever.

Like this:

We want to put a rack on the back, but can't seem to find one that will fit. We bought a Bontrager one, that had the flat strips of metal to attach to the braze-ons. No way in hell would that fit. We returned that, then picked up a different one, that has some aluminum arms and a type of adjustable screw/nut/clamp thing that a lot of new rack designs are going with. still nothing. Any ideas? I have tried relentlessly to get these things to fit. To no avail. It's really rather aggravating. On another note, both LBS's I went to said "Oh, yeah, these will totally with her bike." I guess I shouldn't have taken their word. Any help will be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Parker
