Plenty of stuff to trade (most likely a combination) for Big Rear Rack.
Stuff includes:

Shimano Alfine single crank. 170mm arms, 39t chainring.
Nitto Noodle 42cm. 26.0 clamp.
650B wheelset. 36h Rigida Sphinx rims. Shimano LX(?) hubs.
The sitting on a piece of paper on foam method gave me 13cm, so I thought a
