I'm after a front cargo rack for my city hack ([url= http://www.practicalcycles.com/page27.htm ]see here for examples[/url]) but they're a bit on the pricey side.
Tips on cheaper versions? And no, I'm not handy with an angle grinder and welder 🙄
Blackburn front pannier rack here for £20, but you'll need the eyelets on the fork leg.
Might still be pricy but I rather like the look of these though:

Looks like they just bolt onto the bars.
Charlie's Portland rack is just the ticket! A bargain compared the $ price, but still a little bit more than I was wanting to spend. Might just have to shell out the extra. Cheers!
[Edit: Looking at the dimensions it's a bit small - was hoping to fit a 15" laptop in it]
Sounds like it may be a bit tight to get in the basket unless it's in a thin sleeve but guess you could strap a laptop case across the top of it though?
I quite fancy the rear rack for my commuter 1x1.

That's pretty cool, and a great price.
