Well, if I ever buy a Clem, I'll seriously consider a basket too. Which raises a question: I've tried front baskets on at least 2 bikes, including the huge Newsboy on one bike, and I didn't like the effect on steering even with the bare basket, let alone adding any load big enough to make having a basket there worthwhile. (Funny story: I once tried putting 2 cinderblocks into the Newsboy -- 56 lb iirc. I could hardly keep the rear wheel on the ground, let alone steer well -- rode it down my cul de sac and back and immediately decided that even Newsboys have weight limits.)
Of course, I mounted my Walds with the OEM struts. How heavy a load do you (all) find you can carry in a Wald on a front rack without annoying steering consequences?
