Yep yep, lighter for light loads is what I'm looking for. I have a Nitto Big 
Rack on the rear for the heavy stuff, I REALLY dislike weight on my forks.

I have one on my cheviot, works great, light weight. Set it and forget it. It's 
aluminum not tubular steel like most racks. So maybe not as heavy duty but 
lighter

Joe,
I own both the rack and a Cheviot. I haven't tried mounting it, but I will and 
let you know. And if you haven't bought one yet I'll sell it to ya. Give me a 
day or so and I'll report back. Bought it for another project that didn't 
happen.

I don’t have the Demi but have the standard SOMA Porteur. Mounts on my Atlantis 
fine through the eyelets and also has option mid-fork eyelets that I use as 
well for extra stability.

I haven't tried the Demi Porteur rack and a quick google image search 
doesn't show any images of it in the wild. But the web store text describes 
it as a "rack that installs on your fork's mini rack mounts." Soma uses the 
Riv standard for their rack mounts. I could move the Nitto 32F back and 
forth from my Quickbeam to my Grand Randonneur, so they're at least aware 
of where to put the braze-ons.
