Lovin my Wald baskets
A few weeks ago I bought two rear folding baskets from Wald (the ones that carry brown paper grocery sacks) and installed them on my '87 Schwin Cimarron. Today I rode up to the grocery store to test them out with a heavy load--they're awesome!! I even got a "Cool bike!" shout from a passing roadie. Not only do they look great, but they didn't cause any noticeable weight difference when empty (although they do rattle a bit). I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of these...

Baskets are good.

Yeah, we wanna see some pics!
And I have a question about those folding baskets: When folded does the outer panel square up with the inner panel or does it stick out slightly higher?
