Basket for retro bikes?

[RichardMendoza]

Hi folks. I always wanted to get a basket for my bike but they are not a match, it would look like a girl’s bike. Is there any solution to this? If you have a basket on your bike and they look well put together, please share a picture of it here. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I like these: Blb rack and basket

I’ve got a Wald version in dull silver zip tied to a Nitto rack.

Yup.. i would also choose a Nitto front rack with a wicker basket, i'd attach via straps for trips to the shops. There is a fruit & veg shop in Bakewell which sells wicker baskets of every conceivable size and shape.. I'd just take the bike along for the perfect fit.

Regarding it looking like a girls bike.. embrace it, nobody cares but you, i assure you..

If someone does mistakes you for a girl because you have a basket.. consider yourself flattered.

Proper wicker type baskets weigh a ton (if that matters)
TK Max have loads of different styles and shapes at reasonable prices.
Make sure it doesn't obscure a front light
I use a synthetic basket that looks more like a textile container, but is easy to drop a lunch, lock, coat, pump etc into

Beer crate! Currently working on one using a Jupiler crate. Funky yellow colour!
