Yes, actually I am less concerned about the price tag and more about the
functionality and aesthetics. 90 is not a lot in the grand scheme of
things. I mean, it is going on a custom Rivendell frame! Now I am torn
between a Wald or Gotham basket... With a rack, the former would actually

Oh no, I just posted a long reply with some clever easy on/off mounting

I agree with every sentiment above - they look cool, the hardware is neat,
but the $90 needs to be strongly considered. A Wald basket is a better
buy, but not near as cool. But then again, a Nitto mini rack and a front
bag adds up to a lot more than $90. I could share your dilemma and
@Peter - Yes, definitely more expensive than NYC. I think the rack seems
to be the best bet.
@Joe - The dropout was a nice, unexpected touch, upon the arrival of my

Although zip ties are one way of doing it, it's not as 'easy on/easy off'
as I would like. I am wondering if something

Well I would take the $90 with shipping , go to hardware store, get some
wood and metal straps for 10 bucks, some paint for 10 more, some leather
straps from the fine people at Rivendell for 10 more and you will have
something way cooler. I am just a DIY kinda person. You know what I cant

the crate to your bars for stability. It also looks (like the Wald) like
@Peter - thanks for the tips. I am not so handy, and I live in Zurich, the
most expensive city in the world ... so multiply all of those figures by
2.5 and you'll be back at almost 90, shipped ;)
@Joe - Thanks for the info. I think I have some Wald basket hardware lying
around, but I have
Ah, even more expensive than NYC I hear. I would use the basket with a rack
if you don't like the whole declaeur look. You will still have to get

Sorry, I missed the part about mounting to a front rack and understand
wanting to keep the clamps off the bars. That dropout is spectacular. Lip
