 Superbly made, classic style.Apr 22, 2011
By Gregory Besaw
I bought this for my wife's Forge Coco, a retro style comfort/cruiser 24" bike. We didn't want to spend $50-$100 on a basket, but it's also not a typical "department store bike" and the lower range of wicker baskets just look too much like...well, baskets. Anything under $50 usually has splintery, thick wicker, a loose weave, and a tapered design that makes it look like you stole something from a fruit vendor. By contrast, the Nantucket Lightship looks more like a classy vintage fishing creel without a lid.
The Nantucket Lightship is a great step up, well worth the extra money. Very tight weave, small-gauge and high-quality weavers and spokes in the wicker. The solid brass buckles and thick leather straps are sturdy and long enough to mount it on just about any bike. It'll hold up to 13lbs (2-4lbs more than most in the lower range), has a solid wood platform in the base. The design is very graceful and complements her bike's swoopy frame lines too.
Absolutely perfect!

Perfect basketJan 26, 2012
By Cynthia Hurst
This basket looks great on my hunter green Fuji bike! Arrived within two days, safely packaged. It has a wood base at the bottom for support and the straps are really nice. Good support, nice color (I chose the lighter one), perfect size, plenty of room, one classy bicycle basket!!

basketFeb 07, 2012
By Rachel K. Caverly
excellent, quality made item. Real wicker, real wood, real leather. Well worth the money. I used mine to hold various bathroom items as it adheres flush to the wall. I would definitely buy it again.

A nice Nantucket Lightship bicycle basket.Dec 27, 2011
By RonM..
I ordered this item as a Christmas present. Even though I was cutting it close, the basket arrived in time for opening on Christmas day. Perfect for the Townie bike that we have. I recommend this one.
