You might want to explore the possibility of a 2 receiver. That might give
you a more solid base for the rack. I have a used one ( make unknown) but a

My used Bleriot came with an Ultegra drivetrain. Compact double 34 x 50,

Your Ultegra cranks won't take a 30. You'll be buying a new crankset to go

One thing you could do more cheaply than a new crank is go with a 34 t
cassette in back.
You might have an MTB derailer lying around, and even if your buying new
the cassette and RD woould be less than a new crank, unless of course you

The 34 is the smallest ring on a 110 BCD. Perhaps you can get low
