Any road bikes with rack mounts? Will a rack fit here?
Are there a few models or brands out there (hopefully available in Canada) which provide the holes for a rack but on a "real road frame"? Ideally a frame with carbon stays and fork? I'm not concerned about front fender or disc brake mounts, just a method to attach a rack to a road bike.
Would a seat post mounted rack be the only answer if there are no holes provided on the frame?
Essentially I want the speed, and lightness of a road bike, but I want to commute on it for 8km each way.
Also, picture attached is from a 2006 Devinci Amsterdam, a "performance hybrid". I like the frame and all, but I think I prefer drop bars. The spec sheet says there is an eyelet on dropout and seat stay... which hole do you think it is? Any advice on this bike, the local seller is asking 800CAD.
Thanks !
