That is a sharp looking competition! Is that a wald basket on top of a blackburn front rack? Cool to see the detail shot of it mounted to the fender eyelets with the washers too.

Is the fork original? I have a similar era one with the script "Raleigh" on the downtube and my fork crown isn't chromed.

This is an awesome thread, I love seeing all of these rack/basket setups, they all look great. I'm stockpiling ideas for a light cargo/townie bike.
