@csb, it is an [url= http://www.carradice.co.uk/index.php?page_id=product&under=range&product_id=74 ] OMM Sherpa Front Rack[/url] and you are right, it has limited clearance but I've never found that a problem. Doubles up as a mudguard but recently added a muckynutz to the fork to fill the gap that was resulting in crud flying into my eyes.

I can happily fit a 13L alpkit drybag on the front and I use the fork grips rather than the brake bosses to secure the rack and works a treat. Great service from carradice too.

@ooOOoo thanks for the vote 😀 Here is the said item [url= http://salsacycles.com/components/anything_cage/ ]Salsa Anything Cage[/url]. I can fit one either side of the ogre fork that came with the bike as well

My commuter. Don't use panniers with it though, just stuff things on the rack and use a courier bag.
