Sorry to interrupt this party of counting speeds on our English (non) 3-speeds!
But I'm looking for advice on baskets for my wife's Raleigh Sports.
As some may recall, my wife is an almost-non-cyclist and I got her a 1978 emerald Ladies Sports a few years ago. It seemed to satisfy her sense of style and she has ridden it on neighborhood family rides in summer. She is now talking about using it for neighborhood grocery & errand runs once the weather gets nice enough. This is an extremely heartening development that I want to encourage.
She wants grocery baskets and I want to find her the perfect ones. She wants fixed rear baskets, newsboy style, that will fit a pair of reusable cloth grocery bags (about 13" x 7" footprint) well.
I'm thinking the
Wald 520 may be the way to go. Does that seem right? Any other suggestions?
