I've never had success with single leg bb stands and baskets; can't say I've ever tried a rear dropout stand with a front basket; but think I can see how a heavy front load might topple a bike with a rear dropout stand. I can also see that a 2-legged stand mounted closer to the front might well be more stable for a heavy front load.
