Bike basket for Brompton bicycle in Buff and Red willow

Not only does David work on this shop, but he's also a basketmaker.

This basket was made by David using buff willow for the base, stakes (uprights) and most of the siding of the basket and red willow (with bark attached, not artificially coloured) for an accent.

The size is correct to fit the normal size of Brompton front racks. It is 40 cm wide and 30 cm tall. S-type Bromptons have a shorter rack and this basket won't fit. The Additional Images show more photos of the basket, including how it is attached to a Brompton rack. The pair of straps needed to do this are supplied with the basket, but the Brompton rack must be bought separately (we don't stock them).

Read more about the different natural colours of willow, or about the history of basketmaking in David's family. There is also an online gallery of customers bikes fitted with David's baskets.

If the basket is listed as in stock, then it can be delivered straight away. However, we've had problems in obtaining willow recently, and sometimes it's difficult to find enough time to make baskets, so if it says "30 days"  above, it could take a while. Colours may vary depending on the willow I have in stock.
