Thanks, that's useful because I am thinking (just thinking) of getting custom lowriders for the green Curt Riv, which now serves as my grocery bike and which doesn't handle heavy and exclusively rear loads with the aplomb of the recently sold Ram.
I hope to have various brazing done on the Curt, which already has a custom rear rack; so unobtrusive front low riders that can carry up to 10 lb a side might to supplement the rear panniers might help maintain the volume but improve the ride. We'll see. I expect that the Sam Hill I owned, which wandered horribly with just rear loads on steep hills while seated and twiddling, might have done much better with some of that weight put up front -- in fact, I had low rider front bosses retrofitted to the SH's fork but never really tested the bike with a front load. Oh well, live and learn.
