I've been using my bike for pretty much everything recently to save driving where I can now the weather's improved.
I've been looking at fitting a front rack as I've got a seat on the back for my youngest.
Could you suggest anything that would work with my forks?
Not looking for anything to take panniers etc, something that I can bungee a crate/bag to would be ideal.
Thanks!

Are those screw holes going down your fork, you could use the top ones and make little brackets to take a bungee cord end, then attach the other ends to the handlebars near the handgrips. you may need to put something on it to stop the crate/box/carrier interfering with brakes or cables.if they are not screw holes think about using ......F**k I temporarily forgot the name of those round metal clips that tighten up......you could just tighten the clips round the hook. if your worried about scratching paint you can buy foam sticky tape. large zip ties will also do the job.
First decision is whether to attach to the forks or the head tube. I use a steco rack on my Dutch bike, it clamps to the head tube so the rack doesn't turn when you turn the wheel. I zip-tied a crate to it and use it for throwing a bag in / on. I'm really happy with it.
