pannier rack

[dobber]

i'm planning to go for a couple of days cycling on my bianchi road bike,what rack or carrier would be best to use?

A bianchi has no eyelets so you'll have to get something that's seatpost mounted (and if its carbon it'll need to be replaced with an alloy one). I believe topeak do good ones that are seatpost mounted but I've no experience of them.

assuming you have mounting holes and those clip thingies I would have thought something like this

You wouldn't want to carry a lot presumably, and a road bike frame isn't built for heavy loads?
