Do you still have this? If so, how has the rack held up? Just looking for a front rack and want something I can run small panniers on as well as a top bag or small tent strapped to the top... a mini review would be great.

So far so good with this set up. I don't regularly carry a lot of weight on the rack but have had up to 20lbs loaded with no issues. The bike actually rode better with more weight. After 5400 miles the rack hasn't loosened or shifted on the fork and I like the three levels for mounting for panniers. I really like the quality of the rack and if I ever bought a rear rack I'd choose the same brand.
