I've been riding my bike on the daily and realize there are some days where i need to lug around some things that would not normally fit in my bag, but I also would like the conveniece of easy removal when need to.
The debernardi has nice burly dropouts. I would just take the bike to a shop, and have them drill and tap threaded holes for the rack into the dropout.
I like the tubus fly rack- it has a really secure mount to the rear brake drilling, and you should be able to run it with lower p-clamps if you don't want to add rack mounts to the frame.
Note that you'll probably have problems with heel strike using big panniers on a track bike- look for small ones, or ones with a anti-heelstrike shape.
