The first bike that came to my mind was the trek 1120, which is not a gravel bike but an off-road touring/adventure bike, but with a carbon frame and racks designed for that frame. Totally not what you were looking for but I think it's cool.

the question is: would you use the rack on a carbon bike to mount a child seat and carry a child there? Becase this is what I am thinking about and trying to decide between carbon and titanium for that purpose.
