Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Anyone knows which brand of panniers this and on the Soma is?

I like this. Any idea what the tyres are?

Thanks...hm, nice but quite pricey. Damn, why did Carradice just change their super c pannier design to this bulky one a couple of years ago?

Do you find the basket stable enough? The Blackburn rack is nice but the upward pointing 'extensions' make me doubt actually purchasing. Do you think I could bend them?

They're pretty solid, so I doubt it.

The rack itself it plenty strong for whatever I'll ever use it for, I've already carried loads with it. But indeed the raised bars of the rack's top shelf (which would be perfect to attach a large tent for instance) isn't the ideal interface for the basket; a flat platform would be more appropriate.
Saying that it's a small-ish / medium basket, which it what I wanted, and for what it can carry, there won't be a problem. I'd say up to 8 beers before the basket starts flexing too much, but then I'd put stuff in the panniers.

If carrying stuff on top is a priority for you, and not so much panniers, a Pelago / AWOL pizza rack is probably better for you.

Like @Sparky said, no chance of bending them (without making a mess at least)

Would wrapping some innertube between/around the fore and aft raised bits provide some more support for the middle of the basket?

Could help yes, if current install proves unstable I'll try that

Thank you for the reply! Sounds like it's not too much of a problem if not no problem at all :)

This one is one of my favourite disc truckers of the internet

Found the source for that blue "round town adventure porteur" from a few pages back:

would be even nicer with a really wide salsa cowbell on there

Nice bike, but when will they be taking down the scaffolding?

I ended up shifting some weight to the saddle bag. It rides lovely like this.
