Hi Steve
l might have a front rack which I’ll give you if it is any use to you. I’ll look it out tomorrow if you are interested. Some advice re front panniers: they affect the feel of the bike as the weight distribution is different. If it feels really odd to begin with just persevere and you’ll get used to it. You could try riding with them empty at first and gradually add more weight. I did a lot of cycle touring with just a small pair of front panniers and when I got used to it, quite quickly, I found it much preferable to rear ones which make the bike rather whippy IMO.
