*grin* What kind did you end up with? I am going with a Yakima rail system tomorrow... and will add bike pieces once I have the new mountain bike that will use the rack the most (my tri one likes being in my car).
The problem I have is that for adventure racing I want to be able to carry 2 bikes (25-30lbs each) and a kayak (70lbs) and my car's max is 125lbs. So I guess without front tires on the bikes I'd be fine... but close. So I was contemplating the spare tire style rack... we'll see.
Yakima roof rack- my friends at ESRI all chipped in and got it for me so I didn't get to pick it out but that was the one I would have bought anyway. It was pretty easy to set up. I'm all about the roof rack- they got me the copperhead mount so I have to take the front wheel off.
cool... If I get roof bike pieces, I have to get I think the Viper (so taht it will work with disc breaks). It's also kinda tricky just cause my car is taller than me. But good to know that you like it :-)
