I think its a nice fix. I am blessed with many bikes however, and can't see the need to ever rack my carbon road bike. But I still think its a nice fix.
I solved the storage issue for an ultra-light road bike with expandable seat wedge and a removable handlebar bag. I know, I can't bring home the groceries, but I can carry everything I need to survive all day on the road
I still think that is a nice fix.
