About the "semi-custom" Blackburn low-riders.  My wife's bike has these.
They are mounted on Renolds 531 forks.  So far have used them on a week long
tour, with a lot of weight in them, with ABSOULTLY no problem.   You can
grasp both racks (at the front, where you have the longest lever arm) and
get almost no discernable flex.  I was, quite frankly, surprized.  I suspect
they will not last as long as the BG's though....
