"I could consider to find one in the second hand market instead. If you can't find one in Europe, you can consider Yahoo Auction Japan. There is a shipping partner that will help you to ship the item to your location."
You are probably right that I should look for a used rack as figuring the geometry will be difficult.
In the short term, what is the group's opinion of a beam rack that clamps to the seatpost? Any experience with those? Any problems to watch out for?
Thanks
