I use the Dinotte 200L for my early morning commute (+/- 30min.), mounted on my mustache bars by the stem, above a medium Wald basket. It works perfectly. One thing I'd like to mention about the Dinotte is its ingenious and beautifully simple mounting system. It goes on and stays put, and is just as easy to remove. It mounts over the twine (which are wrapped to the sleave) on my bars without any issue. No screws, no knobs, just a simple rubber ring. Just my 2 cents...
