Perfect addition
"This small but mighty little basket makes biking so much easier - I love not carrying a bag on my back."

Quality
"Good size for a front basket. Solid. Looks good. Easy install"
excellent basket
"Excellent basket. Looks nice, feels sturdy, and easy to install. the only thing i wish i had known is that it does not come with the two small bolts you’ll need to attach it to your fork. I had two of those i could borrow from the water bottle holes on my other bike, but install would not be possible if you don’t have/get these. They are standard and easy to buy, just be prepared to procure if you don’t have them."
Great design!
"Great design! I love that it's actually deep enough to put my purse in without worrying that it'll fall out - good dimensions all around! I haven't had it long enough to rate it on quality, but it seems sturdy so far."
Easy to attach, can fit
"Easy to attach, can fit all my work bags into it. Works great."
Great size, mounting needs some work
"Love the size and simple style, but the mounting design is pretty rough. Two main issues: First, with only two mounting points (handlebars and front axle) it's not 100% fixed in place - it can still pivot around a bit. Second, the bolts that come to fasten the fork support to the bottom of the basket are 30mm long and should really be 15 / maybe 18mm long. That's just lazy hardware selection. I'm not super keen on having an extra, unnecessary 3/4" of bolts sticking down right above my front tire. It should never be a problem, but especially with the basket's ability to pivot around (see problem #1) it makes me a little nervous. Then one minor quibble: I wish they' also sent regular nylon locknuts to fasten those bolts holding the fork support - right now they go through a sheet metal bracket and only have 2 threads of engagement. Seems a bit sketchy. But I do love the style; it's nice to have a basket option that isn't the super beefy courier style / industrial strength baskets"
