I want to install a wicker basket on the front of a 10 speed mixte I have as a project. I have foun with most handlebar baskets and bags they sometimes interfere with the cables. Are there any baskets that have a mounting bracket with a quick release out there that might solve this problem?

I've run into this problem. I've always made do with zip tying the cables to the handle bars.
I think Cynthia will custom make whatever you may want.

Avenir? Basil and some others make a bracket that fits on the handlebars that allows the basket to quick release. I am headed to the LBS this weekend to pick up a wire mesh one that uses the same system. I will get back to you with the brand on it.
