Any brands that sell a rack like the one in the picture? (Edit: what i like from this rack is the mounting points on the frame that will result in a more comfortable ride than carrying the weight on the handlebars or fork))

If not do you recommend someone that can make this without breaking the bank? (I grew up in an agricultural area and there were a lot of folks that could weld something like that for a small fee - but some people online are charging 300+ for this, which is insane)

Good luck finding one. This is one thing I really love about my Tern folding bike - the "luggage truss" allows me to mount a front rack or basket to the frame without it having any effect on handling. It's like it doesn't have any extra weight at the front when you've got something loaded up there!

I'd love to have something similar for regular bikes, so I'll be keeping an eye on this thread!
