And +1 for the Bagman. I recently installed one on my mountain bike, to keep
the Nelson off the tire. Much better than the VO seatpost clamp support.

Why do you need the rack?
Consider the following, that doesn't need a rack:
Medium Sackville Saddle-sack:

Saddlebag Grip (Nitto):

This
up nicely, but it does rub off on the bags, so
you might want to wrap it in tape.

a Bagman for a larger bag like a Nelson Longflap or Camper.

You can get a mini rack that hangs off the saddle or the seatpost to support a
medium or small saddle bag. Jim D. Massachusetts

Moots - yest that setup looks neat. And the R14 is probably worth the
money. Thanks for the tips.

do you hate the looks of the Nitto R14. I can understand not being
fond of the price, but what's not to like about the looks. Think it's
petty light too. A little heavier I guess, but not near the bucks,
would be the Pletscher rack at Riv. That one mounts front or rear and
looks damn good
Jim:
First of all, beware the slippery slope you are about to descend.
Once you've put a rack on one bike, you'll never be able to turn
back. Racks and luggage are addictive, and there's no 12 step program
to get you off them.
If you're as minimalist as you say, look at adapting Mark's rack
Just get a small saddle bag then. The least obtrusive is nothing,
right?

R14 - Nitto is beautiful, but $105 makes it a target for thieves. And
they don't even have a photo showing the entire rack, I couldn't see
how it's actually mounted, I assume those rods go down to the
dropouts...

Nitro R14: too nice, too expensive, a target for thieves. I sometimes

The old MAFAC rack does look interesting if it could somehow merge

I'd also recommend a large saddlebag, but if you're looking
