Actually, we've had a tough time finding cheap, front low rider racks. In fact, we were planning on going with Blackburn front and rear, and found the EX-1 for the back at about $32, while the low rider for the front is about $40. So we'll definitely consider your suggestion, thanks.
And staehpj1, I looked in particular for the low riders you mentioned, to no avail really. The few cheap low riders I did find, made by Axiom mostly, were accompanied by really poor reviews.
Update:
Found our racks today guys, thanks for the help. Got
Topeak Super Tourist rear racks for $34 shipped and got Performance low rider front racks for $21 shipped after lots of shopping around.
