1120 is legendary IMO
also what stops you from installing the trek rear rack on the titus?

Yeah not knocking the 1120, and I love the aesthetics of their rack system - the front one also looks very useful.
It just looks like it could be weak in a few areas. And to me the 1120 rack weight saving benefits are questionable vs a traditional pannier system with which you can use a light or heavy bags or strap stuff on as you would the fancy/cool rack.

What is the bag-strap thing attached to the rack? Is that Trek specific?

Random (perhaps) interesting fact about the Silk Road frame..
PX ordered the frames with the high seat stay mounts with the purpose of allowing fitment of the Trek 1120 rear adventure rack. Until it seems they either couldn't get hold of bulk amounts or the margins weren't good enough.
They look pretty snazzy (although not keen on the colours) - I'm not sure why a normal rear rack would not be good enough though.
They've basically skanked the inspiration and geometry from the 1120, got somebody in China to weld up a load, then stuck-on a Titus logo.
EDIT - These 1120 racks actually didn't fit my Titus Silk road - so there we go..!
