    I tink I have the one you are referring to - it's a platform for two bikes that is towbar mounted.
    I am extremely pleased with it - very stable, giving plenty of confidence about the security of the bikes. The bikes are held by two clamps that seem to fit both standard and oversize tubes at a variety of differnt angles, in addition there are straps for the wheels. There is no anti-theft type security, so you will need ot allow for a cable lock and a cover for the bolt that attaches the carrier to the towbar (whihc comes with the carrier from new).
    On the downside - it's bl**dy heavy! It is a sod to get on and get off the towbar - but I suppose that this shows it is solidly built....... The wiring for the integrated lightbar is susceptible to getting caught where it shouln't get caught - so make sure it is securely cable-tied but with enough slack for your needs.
    (In addition to carrying bikes you can buy a very useful and sturdy bag that fits on the platform for extra luggage carrying capacity in leiu of a small trailer!)
    Highly recomended. :P
