Please clarify, as I beg to disagree, actually! Weight low on the front end might be more stable, but more stable than what? A weight at the top of, and at the end of a steering-arm?? Surely not? Have you ever tried to ride rollers or "no-hands" on a bike with a loaded bar-bag? I'd be interested to watch (I'd even be tempted to sell tickets if you replied "yes!")
