I'd be interested to know the same. I used a Wald 137 basket with the agricultural clamps and wished for something more sleek.
I think it'd be ok for really light stuff, but I would want to test it with a 6-pack of beers. Unless that crown strut was rock solid, assembly would lack stiffness to resist the side-to-side forces while riding. Could get real floppy.
I can still see it working if the distance from crown to basket is small, and the strut itself is stiff. You'll gain stiffness points if the fork has a flat face around the brake bolt hole, as the strut will then be well supported against sideways wiggle.

should be ok with light stuff, I guess the stronger options would be to get a pelago rack and mount the wald to that, or get a pelago rasket.

Wald basket question.
The bits that you attatch to the handlebars are pretty industrial looking. Assuming the struts are what actually take the weight, could I just bodge a crown strut from a spare off a platform rack? Will that be sturdy enough? (137 with mainly light stuff in it)
