This Sunlite is very similar to my Nashbar rack.

But like I said above, if your bike is disc, that rack needs canti brake posts so this would not work for you.

I wonder why Tubus stopped making the Ergo? It fit a bit better than the Tara on one of my bikes, but I think the Tara had a higher weight rating.

I would not say that bike was "vintage", I bought the frame used only ten years ago, it was only a few years old when I bought it from someone that decided that the size was not quite right for him. Instead I would call it "experienced".

Racktime Topit rack might be hard to find in USA, I think that nobody is distributing Racktime racks anymore. I bought a Racktime rack three years ago, shipped from Germany, before that I bought them in USA. Since the Topit does not use brake canti posts, that would work on a disc bike.

I have no idea if this would work for you. The Topit rack has a bigger platform than this. And this you would have to check the geometry of it to see if it would fit your fork. Being steel, this would not be light.
