Title: Good looking but don't forget to consider the high center of gravity issue
Product review: I have this type of rear basket mounted on a "beam" type rear rack (the kind that attaches to your seat post and has no downward stays) and it looks really really cool and I am amazed at what I've carried home in it (like 30 pounds). But one thing I had not thought of is the center of gravity issue. With the typical rear baskets that hang down from the rack you have a low center of gravity and that's good but when you carry a heavy load in this type of basket sitting up high atop your rack you better be fit and have a very good sense of balance because it can easily throw you off balance. Once I get rolling it's okay but I have my saddle up too high to keep my feet on the ground when starting and that moment there when I'm pushing off to get started and up into my saddle I have to work hard to stay balanced and I believe it's because of the load being up high. Just something to consider.
