The OH has just suprised me by buying a Dahon D7 Speed on impulse, having no previous interest in cycling. We're just trying to figure out the luggage options and in-short my question is simply - what do other people use for luggage carrying up the front and how do they get along with it?
As I see it there's options:
i) use the Dahon Valet mount to fix Dahon specific luggage bags on the headtube (where do you buy this stuff? I've had a rummage on google)
ii) use a Rixen and Kaul headtube mount for generic luggage options (allows loads of luggage options, but it doesn't look nearly as strong as the Alu Dahon mount, and only a 2-bolt fixing vs Dahon's 3-bolt system),
iii) use a handlebar mounting system (may interfer with fold or not fit around the odd stem clamp, high centre of gravity).
PS were's using a racktop bag for the back already so that's sorted - this is for dayrides and shopping trips btw, not touring.
