handlebar basket
I have a Specialized Sirrus that I use for commuting. I'd like to put a Wald delivery basket on the front but can't figure out a way to mount the basket around the brakes/shifters. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best solution is a small Nitto front rack and a Wald basket
There are two versions of the rack, one clamps to the fork legs directly, the other bolts onto the cantilever brake bosses (as pictured)

I used pipe clamps for mounting my basket to Nashbar front rack.
It did withstand moderate amount of abuse, for example:

The Wald Delivery Basket is very heavy and will affect your steering even when empty. I had one on my cruiser but later down sized because of the effect. It was nice to be able to carry all the stuff you can fit into it, but ultimately, I found it too burdensome.

More or less correct. Plastic zips ties. The green shims is actually hosing split lengthwise. This helps level out the basket and keeps it from rubbing.
