From Sheldon Brown:
Braze-on
A small fitting permanently attached to a frame. On traditional steel frames these attachments are held on by brazing, but the term "braze-on" is also used for fittings that are welded, glued, rivetted or moulded on to frames of other materials. Typical braze-ons would include cable stops and guides, water bottle cage mounts, shift lever bosses, cantilever brake bosses and cable stops, pump pegs, etc.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

There you go! Get the Surly! I have one and love it and I got it because I couldn't figure out the whole touring thing on my road bike. After that we'll talk you into a mixte. You can never have too many bikes!

A Tubis rack http://www.thetouringstore.com/ is a very lightweight rack. The "Fly" weighs almost nothing and is not very noticeable on the bike. My Ortlieb panniers fit it well and just clip on and off one-handed http://www.ortliebusa.com/
I leave my rack on my Volpe. And as far as a Surly goes . . . I am in love with my Big DummY!!!!!

Here is the link to the Surly.

DH didn't say "no" but he sure rolled his eyes and laughed! He asked what I would do with my Specialized to which I said "get another bike to keep it company while the Surly and I are out doing our thing!"
Oakleaf - shoulda thought about Sheldon. I actually googled the term and came up with something a little wacko.

Hmmm, that's my size.....
(kidding! actually I ride a 52cm)
Price isn't bad, and with new wheelset, pretty cool. LHT have the cute extra spoke holders on the chainstay.
If I ever buy another Surly, it'll probably be a LHT. (but I have 4 steel bikes right now, so it might be a while!)"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
