That is one nice looking rack. I use the Tubus Duo because it's two separate pieces so it takes up little space when the bike is packed and shipped, unlike the Tara et al with the connecting hoop. My max front load never exceeds 15 lbs per bag (usually a lot less) & the Duo is perfectly secure and stable at that weight. I would expect Riv's new front rack to be just as good. It has the added advantage of mounting to the fork eyelets common on many Riv models. Sure hope this one makes it into production.
