Rixen & Kaul Vario Rack .. opinion?
Tried search, but no reviews. Looks like an obscure German company only sold at one place .. https://www.velofred.com/product_info...roducts_id=586
Anyone have a real world review? I'm considering it as an alternative to panniers because I have a great messenger bag that i'd like to keep using for school, but don't want the hassle of modifying to fit panniers.

I use one with my road bike for commuting and it's just awesome. Highly recommended
I've tried several methods (racks, panniers, baskets, etc) and this was the winner for me

I like the looks of that. Seems like it would be a very convenient way for a lady to carry her purse.

Try posting in the folding bike forum. A lot of folks there use these as the ability to mount panniers and racks is more limited on folding bikes. I don't have experience with these, but they look cool.
really?

R&K is not obscure, just not common in the US. I've bought their products from both Velofred and Wallingford bike; I particularly like the pump-fix. I've heard good things about their pannier clips, but have yet to try them.
