which method is bestest?
1 should work, but bar will have to be very long....flexy?
2 looks like best to me, but will have to determine precise diameter of seat tube.
3 might not work...because v-brake is in-the-way.
4 ought to work, but looks heavy.
#1 looks like an axiom streamliner disc, I believe it comes with the 1-beam brake-bridge attachment or the 2 beam traditional attachment that you can use with the seat collar:

I'd use it with the

The brake bridge brazeon is more work and more difficult to remove if you need to (like to replace the rear tire). The beam racks (#4) usually totally suck because they swing side to side when you turn. The one the previous posters suggested use something to stabilize it from doing this, but then it doesn't have a lot of weight capacity.
The Axiom solution I'm mentioning here gives you the same convenience and weight handling capabilities as regular brazeon's, it's only drawback after installation is that it adds an additional step to take off the rear wheel, worth it in my opinion.
That being said you should probably ask at a bike shop and make sure your bike doesn't already have rack mounts...sometimes they're just clever about hiding them.
