I'm *very, very *font of this rack: http://www.amazon.com/Axiom-Streamliner-Road-Cycle-Black/dp/B0025UCXEO/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1433267548&sr=1-1&keywords=Axiom+Streamliner+Road+DLX+Racks
It's somewhat minimalist in orientation, being very narrow at the top. You can't use a rack top bag with it. It comes in black or silver and is *solid.* It's intended for use on a road bike with very short stays, and to mount to the rear skewer. Since I have longish stays, I shortened the feet on mine and mounted it to the rack/fender mounts at the dropouts. I have the silver one and it looks very nice on my VO Rando, IMO. I have carried law books in panniers on it, which should assure you of its strength. The one gotcha for some folks is that it *does* use oversized tubing, so you have to make sure your pannier system can handle that. I use Arkel's system, which is very happy with this rack. JANDD stuff is of course, also fine with it.
