Sean, I bought the Rawlands Rack after trying a Nitto Pot luck rack. It would not fit due to the legs that attach to the eyelet on the fork drop out were too short to fit over a 700c38 tire with fender. Like you I wanted a wider rack than a Mark's rack.Also Marks rack is rated at 4.4 lbs.The Rawlands capacity is 22lbs. Marks rack is $140 Rawlands is $80.Rawlands only comes in black. Another rack you might like is the Pass and Stowe, capacity of 25lbs but a bit pricey at $280. I have one on my Sam.It's a great rack. Are you planning on carrying panniers??? Jon
