So I have been looking to follow your advice. I have a little issue. My seat post is a vintage Record carbon fiber one.

This one.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Campagnolo-...AAAMXQfvlSc-k7

I don't know if a carbon fiber seat post is a good candidate for a mounted rack? I searched that and all I got was mixed reviews. I suspect if I kept the weight down, it would be fine.

Any other ideas. I would LOVE to get the weight off my back for a lot of reasons and I really thank you for your advice.
