For a different bike, I was able to buy a kit that had just the struts, handlebar brackets, and hardware for the Giant Basket. I fit it to a smaller basket that had fixed-length legs that did not fit the bike well. It took a bit of DIY modification, but it worked. Just an idea if you like your current basket aside from how it fits your bike.

Hmmm, I looked again at some of the Giant baskets, looks like the way they're made now they have fixed-length struts, but you can get a separate kit with the adjustable ones. Also, it looks like you can adjust the height at the handlebars as well?

I really want the giant basket, but I've been holding off because sometimes I take my bicycle on the bus and I don't know if it will fit on the racks on the front of the bus.
