@bobjonkman asks about strong front racks that attach to your frame:

Q2. Are there any after-market frame-mounted front racks? Something I can bolt on? Substantial enough for that 18kg (40lb) sack of potatoes?

I've seen a few bikeshare bikes with an L-shaped front rack that's welded to the frame, but welding is too much for me.

@ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite frame-mounted front racks as in *not* fork-mounted?

@RichSPK @bobjonkman @bikenite Yeah, that's my interpretation.

@ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite interesting. I've seen Harleys with frame-mounted fairings, but I've never seen frame-mounted front racks. I imagine they wouldn't tug at the front wheel in crosswinds.
