I recently installed Mark's Rack with Wald Basket on front of my AHH.
The routing of the bar end shifter cables around the basket is a
little awkward. It looks like they would prefer to go right through
the basket, but they are forced lateral and underneath. Not a big
deal, but I am considering

I would chime in support of Patrick's observations. It certainly does
depend on how long your commute is, and how much you carry. 1500 cc
isn't all that much, but it wont support 30 lbs, unless you're
accustom to transporting silver bars to and from work. My commute is

Hi,
You are on the right track of putting a rear Nitto Top rack and a wire
basket. Tie the wire basket with plastic tie-wraps and your set-up will be
as stable as it can be. I had that set-up with my Wilbury

What do you carry daily that weighs so much? I'm curious.
A stiffer rack than those Walds -- which I've used -- will make 30 lb feel
better; in fact, I think, don't know, that

I was commuting on my 61cm Bleriot with a medium sized messenger bag secured
to the front rack, which handled really nice, but my commute is bi-modal.
Securing and removing the bag got to be a hassle.

Hi avillage,
I've been commuting w/ my load up-front have set-up an older
Bridgestone T700 w/ a wald basket and Mark's Rack. For myself, this

than w/ a saddle bag. I usually throw my Carradice Junior (read
duffle bag) into the
