Am in the market for a front rack/basket combo and possible rear rack for a Surly CrossCheck that I'm about to build up.
I don't really want a massive basket; just enough to carry my commuting kit - tools, lock, work clothes (not shoes), or some bits for a day trip.
I was considering the PDW takeout, as it has slot for lock and comes with a waterproof bag.
Anyone any experience with these?
Alternatively, anyone got any suggestions for a porteur rack / basket that isn't $$$, massive or insanely heavy, and comes in black?
Also, was looking at the PDW payload for a rear rack, or Tubus Fly.
Any thoughts?
Am open to suggestions!

I have a PDW Takeout (that's a smallish one, right?) which you are welcome to borrow to try out and see if it works for you? I don't actually want to sell it, but it's just sitting around at the moment. It is nice but the handlebar fittings are not exactly elegant.
