FWIW: That same rack or one that looks exactly like it has been sold in the US under the Nashbar and Sunlite brand names.

I like it a lot and have used it to carry my handlebar bag rather than bar mounting it. I have also used it as a rear rack when travelling with minimal ultralight camping gear. These racks have held up well for me. I have never put a great deal of weight on them, but I think one could handle my full ultralight gear load (between 10 and 15 pounds) if necessary.
