I like that Crust Rack exactly because it doesn't have a diving board (and I like the platform size for the basket, too). The Crust works off a pretty smart "truss" or bracket that attaches to the center hole on a fork crown. That bracket is quite beefy and spreads the load outward similar to a fork with attachment points on top of the crown on either side of the head tube. I was able to run the bracket behind a set of Mafac Raids, even. It's a solid rack but not overly heavy -- the stainless steel struts are heavy gauge hollow tubing with nicely welded attachment points -- and the hardware is top notch. The platform has plenty of attachment points as well for lights and/or lowrider racks. And the 4 struts ought to make anyone paranoid about rack failure feel safe, too. I'm not totally crazy about the industrial / "erector set" aesthetic overall but it works with the build style of the particular bike I have it on now.
