OH NO DARIN! Bummer, that was such a sweet ride! The 2010 Quick 3 is nice too, butI do not see rack mounts in the picture I looked at (which is bizarre on a bike that is not designed strictly for racing). You could use p clamps to anchor the bottom of your rack and a monostay adapter at the top http://www.amazon.com/ACTION-CARRIER.../dp/B0019BCQCO If you go this route, clamp the p clamps to the metal, not the carbon to avoid the risk of damaging the carbon.

Or a seatpost mounted rack might serve your needs like this one but limited capacity (rated for 25lbs) http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...Rear+Rack.aspx

I would be tempted to cancel the order on the bike, but not without confirmation that it is not rack ready because I'm not certain about that.

If you aren't planning to carry a lot and you are willing to ride with a backpack, you might not need a rack at all, or just a small one like http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...m+Rack+Ex.aspx
