Michael,
Pretty sure you've already tried this but I'll forge ahead anyway. My wife
and I both have Riv's with Albatross bars outfitted with racks, bags and
baskets, using any rack is a challenge. I've used a number of them over the
years.
Currently on my Miata I use a Saris Freedom hitch
I don't know if Joe has sold this but I can vouch for what an excellent
rando bike the Coho is. I have a similar one and it's been absolutely
great. Understated but all the right moves.
Don't make Joe resort to eBay! Joe you might try posting on the randon list

Does he not own Rene Herse? And sell his own randoneur frames? I thought
he did. H.
Well, you are going to have to H a little bit longer and harder.

randonneur frames are made and sold by Mike Kone and Mark
But its cool to bite Jan's head off for something he does not do.

it wouldn't work due to 1. the bottom hook not having anything to keep it
Flat, clipped, I don’t really care, and I don’t proselytize others to my
point of view.
Curiously, the only time I've had people preach to me is the one time I
would least expect - chance encounters with other tour cyclists while on
tour myself.

Go for the A23. I just got a set built by Rich for my Sam which is mostly

upfront. I run the 650x42 babyshoe pass tires on them and they fit great in
the rim.
