The Vendetta is not just for racing. For those who find the V20/V20c their go-to bike for commuting or long leisurely trips, there is naturally an interest in carrying stuff on a rear rack with or without panniers. There is a good thread about this here. Another option is to use the S40 rear rack. I just put one on my V20. It fits equally well on a V20c. It required four Cateye HP-5 clamps.
The headrest strut is 19mm diameter so leave the white shims in the clamps. The rear fork is 22mm diameter, so remove the shims. Sooner or later, Cruzbike will source these clamps and offer them with the S40 rack for Vendetta owners, but in the meantime, the HP-5 clamps can be ordered online from Cateye (or other suppliers). I haven't tried to test the weight limit of this on the V20, but I would keep the load to under 15-20 lbs. I like how the rack can be fitted low and close to the tire, and how the cargo would be in a nice aerodynamic location behind the rider.
