That is quite manly! Surprised it doesn't come with a V-8 and a keg.

Just not big enough for Manly loads..
[bigger than a 6 pack]
Porteur racks are also Hip, now-a-days.

I had dual collapsible Wald baskets on the Schwinn Le Tour back in '83. Carried all my stuff in them, 5 days a week, on a 5 mile round-trip commute. I'd fold the baskets in every evening so bike could sit in the hallway without taking up too much space.

I was in a bike store a few weeks ago out of province and they had a silver one very similar to this, and I was quite perplexed of why it was so overengineered, I mean there is only so much that a headset can take and or how handling is affected.
In anycase it was the sturdiest looking sucker I'd ever seen.

As Arron and positron have pointed out, it's not the basket, it's what you put in it.
