I do like Trek bikes for some reason.
What I don't like: The Fork on the FX3 is made out of carbon fiber. I prefer crmo or aluminium vs carbon fiber, that's just me.
Internal cable routing
 |
| This I like, very neat installation into chainstay. Don't know which FX3 / year that has this though. |
Some examples of different front bicycle racks.
Buy ready for example: Wald 137 Front basket.
or bigger basket 135
 |
| This is model Wald 135 which is bigger basket than 137. |
"I just appreciate the original Wald basket mounting system. Everyone seems to clip off the legs, buy a front rack, and zip-tie the basket to a rack and I don’t get why! The mounting legs it comes with works great, are reasonably light-weight, and in my experience, super robust!" - TripleSecretSquirrel
Cykelgear.se is selling them in Sweden
This is a nice mounting

| Looks like a stable mounting of this Wald 137 basket. |
 |
| Is it too big? WALD largest basket 53x38 cm |
Make your own
 |
| This is my Miyata Terrarunner with a DIY front basket, costing about 4 dollars to make. I've made a video testing it. Will be coming out soon.. |
I've stolen the idea from this dude, youtubechannel garys.projects:
Part from IKEA:
Pleja 26x34x8 99kr (black basket, try to find a silver one, looks better
Observatör 100 cm, eyelets for m5 bolts. 30 kr
This DIY front bike rack for under 25 dollars, IKEA style.

"Buy a women's bicycle basket at eg Harald Nyborg for SEK 69, take the brackets and replace the basket with a wire basket from Ikea for SEK 40, and it will be like this" - SebbeK

Other alternatives: AVS system
Here Crescent Hybrid with AVS rack.
More info here.
------------ Lowrider alternative ---------
If you dont like front suspension (often heavy and start leaking or whatever) this is a nice commuter bike. Internal routing of cable, looks to come out from bottom bracket, so not as nice as some Trek bikes.
Crescent Kebne is a hybrid bike that is equipped so that you can be comfortable even on really long trips. That makes it a perfect commuter bike. The standard equipment includes mudguards, chain guards, approved locks and a sturdy package holder with the AVS click system, which allows you to easily click on a bag or basket. The handlebars are slightly angled upwards to provide good ergonomics and the handles have comfortable handles. The handlebar stem can be adjusted so that you can easily find a comfortable position. With its 16 gears, Kebne has a gear ratio for each inclination, regardless of whether it goes up or down and the hydraulic disc brakes are dimensioned for the same conditions and heavy load.
