Loving the Concorde, but seriously wouldn't get a basket. Not on the front anyway.
I had one for a while last year, and it ruined the handling, faffed up removing the front wheel when I wanted to lock up, damaged my headset, rattled around like mad, and made my lunch jump out and land right in front of me when I hit a pot hole (ooouch!). Front or rear, your bag will get filthy if you don't have mudguards, and you'll have to cut and re-drill them for smaller frames because the struts aren't ajustable.
I gave up in the end and got panniers, which I have to say are a big improvement!
(Rubble sacks make them 100% waterproof, too)
