Subject: Bike Rack for Small Tri Bike Frame?

Hi!  I recently just got a Quintana Roo Cd0.1 in a size small.  The bike is awesome but after trying to fit it on my current trunk mounted bike rack - the frame is way too small to fit!  I wound up having to put it in the backseat, which wasn't a problem but it will be when I start carpooling to races. 

Does anyone have any recommendations?  The only restriction I have is that I live in NYC so I don't own a car.  I rent or use Zipcar so a hitch mount wouldn't work for my situation. Help!

Not relevant or helpful, but what's an Aggie doing in NYC? :-)

I have a teeny Kestrel TT and a 43cm Trek roadie, and a 2-seater convertible -- the Saris Bones rack is adjustable so you can fit under the top tube.  You can't hitch, but if someone else needs hitch info for teeny bikes, the Thule Helium works, too (9-inch span -- anything with 11-inch span will be too big; I tried everything!).

x2 on this.  Just got one to fit my wife's roadie.  Fully adjustable and an awesome awesome rack!
