Panasonic Frankenbike. Old Blackburn, center-mount, front rack with an old desk wire letter basket zip-tied to it. I have Wald folding baskets attached to the Blackburn in the rear and wanted something not-to-big in the front that would hold an additional bungied bag or two without the bags flopping over the side of the front rack.



Same thing with the front Jandd rack on my LHT. Since this rack has no backstop like the Blackburn above, I oriented the basket forward and attached the plastic handle from an old boombox radio on the open end of the basket.



The letter baskets weigh next to nothing but are solid. Everything is zip-tied with an additional round pipe clamp or two thrown-in.
