Well, there's the rack that comes with the Trek 520. I don't know if it
is available separately, but it is worth showing as an example of a rack
to stay away from. 

It seems to be designed to be as difficult as possible to use with 
Ortlieb panniers. There are all kinds of unnecessary metal and double
tubes such that there is only one fore/aft mount position and even
there, the Ortlieb attachment doesn't quite fit. Quick on/off is
completely defeated.

The reflector mount is far too flimsy to mount a 2 AA VistaLite.

The amount of the purchase price of a 520 that goes to the rack is
completely wasted.
