This is a pretty no-frills functional basket. It was a pretty tight fit on my Retrospek commuter bike, but with enough tie wraps these days, it seems like anything can work.Although a bit on the small side, there is still plenty enough space to fit a few 6 packs or some groceries.Pros:☺ Value☺ WeightCons: None that I have noticed.Overall: This is a nice light functional bicycle basket.

Its a basic metal basket. For the $26 CDN I paid for it a few weeks ago, I'm happy with it so far. The build quality seems good for what it is, and the handle works - its great for light trips to the grocery store. I got it in brown because that was cheap and the paint seems to be thick and finish is fine.To be clear, it didn't fit onto the handle bars of my small mountain bike that only gets used in the city - the hooks are not wide enough. Instead, I just hook it on to my rear pannier rack (see photo). The hooks are too wide, but long enough to hook onto the side rail, and I just use a carabiner to ensure that if it bumps out it stays connected to the bike. I unhook it and carry it in to shop and carry it out and hook it up again and ride. It can carry a good grocery bag's worth of stuff and a fair amount of weight (10 kilos).I'd constructively suggest the manufacturer consider two things: (i) make the hooks longer and narrower and market it as a pannier-mount side basket like I use it with a retainer clip and maybe a reflector mount on the side, and (ii) make the handle wider or put a plastic/rubber handgrip on the handle to make it more comfortable to carry.

Went on like a charm and feels nice and sturdy. Great value for the price.
