Shimano USA played dumb with my LBS and claimed the number didn't exist. They use them on the bakfiets, Azor's, etc. So I know they are available, just not to the colonies.

I plan to use my Redline R530 as a replacement...once I get my new front hub for it. I am also looking towards a bakfiets, but that is a ways down the road.

I'm thinging of constructing some custom clamps. @RL: I have a big frame (62cm) and even if I have the handle bars in the lowest possible position there is plenty of room above the front wheel.

I don't know how much lower I could have gone... Being a 700c wheel, that basket was sitting about 1/2 an inch from my front tire. I don’t know how much lower I could have gone…

Was more work than I had expected. I'll send a picture to Jack to post of it. The lower center of gravity is better, but still the weight is not as good as hanging next to the front tires. I can strap a basket or what ever to it and remove it when I don't need it. I wanted a http://www.cetmarack.com but am short on cash so I built my own. Was more work than I had expected.

I highly recommend the Wald folding baskets that Moe has on his bike. I have a pair and I really love them (definitely use plastic zip ties to really secure the baskets to the rack). By the way, this Bell Strapper net is great for covering baskets, try 'em out! http://tiny.cc/wHNMK (link points to amazon.com product description) Nice gitter! :) That big basket in the front is awesome.
