I was looking at baskets too, but instead got a rack trunk, and the Nashbar Townie folding grocery panniers. I LOVE them. I can just unfold them in like 2 seconds, and throw a back of groceries in each. They were fairly cheap ($20 for each). Baskets are heavier. Baskets have holes. If you come across an M&M geyser with baskets, your SOL. But with the Nashbar Townies, I can carry home a village worth. And the rack trunk is their for stuff that stays on the bike always (like my tools/patch kit), and stuff you want hidden, like your keys. The Nashbar townie even comes with a flourescent yellow rain cover folded into a zipped up section on the bottom of the bag.
