Sugino Front Basket?
Hello All,
Check this out:

It's a nifty clip on/off front wicker basket for the "Far East" market, made by the lovely folks at Sugino. Does anybody know where westerners can get a basket like that? My girlfriend would really like to install one on her Milano. We've found baskets that simply strap on the handlebars and others that have rubberized hooks, but both of those designs would interfere with the brake/shifter cables.
Thanks!

"Beauty Shopper" I love it. No clue where you could get one in the US though. Maybe your LBS could order?
Jitensha in Berkeley, CA offers this, but with the rack you're talking at least another $50, and I can't recommend the Nitto front racks. I broke mine over-torquing the bolt, but I'm not THAT hamhanded.
