...then you might look at the Rene Herse UD-1 (disc) or UD-2 (canti).  Nice looking, weighs not a lot, can get 2 diff length struts.  Per Jan, on this page,  "We test all Rene Herse racks to 22 pounds (10 kg) – each rack has to survive 100,000s of cycles on a test rig with the weight strapped tightly onto the rack. In the real world, the tires absorb the shocks, and the load can move a bit, too, so the stresses on the rack are lower. Basically, we guarantee that a Rene Herse rack won’t fail even in very hard use. We back that up with a 5-year warranty."

I'll be putting one on my Hillborne this spring, so I can move my Rawland demi-porteur rack to my Clem. Rene Herse stuff is all beautifully made, practical and functional stuff - but you certainly pay for it.
