The load platform looks nicely sized but the four leg mounts, as shown in the pictures, would allow the same potentially catastrophic failure if the single bolt through the fork crown failed. And that seems to be just the sort of failure some folks have been worried about. It's just a thought, but I wonder if the rearmost pair of the four legs might be able to extend horizontally rearward and pick up the top-of-the-fork-crown mounting bolts that many Rivendell bikes have. The forward pair of legs could continue to attach to the forks with P-clams or via the braze-ons that many forks provide. If so, that would give a significantly higher degree of security than the mounting system shown in the images. The second image, in particular, shows how everything currently would pivot forward on to the front tire if the single fork crown through-bolt failed. Maybe I should buy one of these and give the alternative four-legged mount a try. $150 doesn't seem unreasonable. LeRoy
