I had almost decided to get the Pletscher Orion, but while I was thinking it over the price increased by 50%! (That may be reasonable given the exchange rates, I don't know).

So, I ended up getting creative and modifying a Performance Bike Transit rack to fit. I only paid $25, I wonder if they charged me for the bolt on rack by mistake? Anyway, a short trip to the local hardware store to buy a length of threaded rod and a donated quick release later - the rack fits!

The rod touches the seatpost on the front side - so I've wrapped a length of old innertube on it to prevent scratching the seatpost.

The rack goes on very quickly and appears to be very securely mounted. Time will tell... watch this space (most likely I won't update unless it fails!)
