That's a Cronometro mount that was originally designed to mount computers 
on aerobars.

Paul,

That PDW mount looks so good, I just ordered one! Thanks!

I'll try to remember to take pics and share with the group.

[RBW] Re: 22 for 2022

['Bikie#4646' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Drew, thanks for the complement on the photos. 
As to the basket light mount, I've had two of these for so many years, I 
cannot recall their origin. They were designed to mount to a frame or fork 
tube and I adapted them easily for the basket. They aren't as substantial 
as the current mounts made to attach at a frame fitting (like Paul & PDW, 
etc.). So, at first I wasn't sure if they would be trustworthy. They have 
proved to be fine and I'm sure I did not pay much at the time. Your search 
may prove to be more fruitful than mine.
I looked at the strap on the basket side and one says, "CRONOMETTI" the 
other, made to fit a different tube size, says, "ISSIMO," so your guess is 
as good as my own. It is very likely I got word of this from one of these 
forums.
Just out: PDW has a newly designed basket mount called the "Outpost Mount," 
made of metal (steel?) so a little on the heavy side but looks substantial 
enough to be able to survive the bike falling over without any damage to 
the light mount. 
I'm headed out for an overnighter on Wednesday and hope to try it out:

[RBW] Re: 22 for 2022

[Drew Saunders]

Paul,

May I ask what you're using to attach lights to the side of your basket? I 
made a "fake short handlebar" from an old broomstick and a long bolt to get 
a light out in front of my fender, but it doesn't work with newer lights, 
and I like your "tiny fake handlebar attached to the side of the basket" 
better.

Thanks, and great pics, by the way!

Drew

I'd suggest checking out the Red Leaf Rambler just a litter few hours 
northwest of the Nor'Easter here in Western Mass. Last fall was the second 
year of the event, the routes are really great and rather challenging. 
Also, there's the D2RD.

[RBW] Re: 22 for 2022

[DavidP]

J - Yeah,  I'm in Chelmsford (just south of Lowell). It's a pretty standard 
NE suburban area but one thing this part of MA does well is having lots of 
public "open space" land dotted throughout various towns. None of them are 
very large but you can string them together and make some great loops.

My 22 were all in Google photos so I made an album there and then took a 
screen shot (pretty similar to the landing page for Paul's flickr album).

DavidP-  your area looks like really great riding. I'd been wondering where 
you were from your pics and suspeted the NE and I see now it Mass. I drove 
up to Connecticut for the first time two Octobers ago for the Nutmeg 
Nor'Easter and really fell for that area of the country. Can't wait to get 
back up north for more riding. Also, good job on the pic collage. Not sure 
how you did it.
