New Wald Woody basket
https://www.waldsports.com/index.cfm/...D-E80D9D6210FF
139WW Looks sexy! I've been eyeing similar baskets that are too expensive for me, so hopefully I'll be able to pick one up. Msrp seems a little high, but I'm hoping the price will drop down closer to the existing 139 basket's $12 price. I can't imagine that a few pieces of wood cost them that much more to manufacture.

Pretty. I'm looking for some additional "bling" for the bike I'm hoping to build around an S3X hub. This might make a nice accessory.

I don't know, but I hope so. I really don't want to pay anywhere close to the $70 MSRP though.
Anybody know what the MSRP of the regular 139 basket is? So we can compare MSRP to actual market price? It sells for $12, so if the MSRP is around $50 or so then that would be a good sign.
If not, then I think I will just add some stained wood slats to a $12 139. Shouldn't be too hard and would be much cheaper than $70.

Add your own wood and save the bucks. As soon as one hits the shops I am going to see how the wood is fastened down and build my own.

They are using pop rivets? or are they using a blind rivet with the smooth head?

Easy to customize your own basket with a wood bottom.
Hat's off to cabana 4 life -- that's a good lucking bucket.
And the cupholders -- a nice touch! So is the cork bottom.
Good work. I hope you sell a bunch.

I have a couple smaller Wald baskets. It would be nice to have a wooden bottom for them....

The wood basket has a very nice eco-friendly look, but my bike falls over from time to time so I worry that wood wouldn't hold up for long.

How would you go about riveting them yourself? Do you need special tools?

The Wald baskets that I have, Aaron are the classic metal grocery type that come on and off, with the handle...
I've thought about fabric liners, as small items aren't contained too well.
But a bottom would be nice...

As soon as I can see one and get some pictures of the underside I will know how I would go about making one. I have a bunch of aircraft type rivets and tools...I own a couple of vintage Airstreams and my wife's uncle does vintage aircraft.
