From this thread:

I bring you! (well, actually, "hnsq" brings you) - the Seat Clamp with Rack Mounts:

I have TWO of those clamps... bought from either Bens Cycle or Tree Fort (can't remember). They are f'ing slick. I've already installed on on my wifes bike, and will install one on mine soon. Both bikes have already have rack mounts HOWEVER they are horribly positioned and you can't get stays around the brakes because of the positioning. Those clamps, though, worked SWEEEEEEET
