 That looks a whole lot eleganter than anything else I have seen!

 Hi folks,

 A while back I asked the groups opinion of the public bikes basket and
 it's quick release. The opinions I got back were negative and got me
 thinking on how to adapt a basket that could be installed and removed
 easily but be very secure. I live without a car and use my Atlantis for
 groceries etc. I didn't want to haul around an empty basket all the time,
 or deal with zip ties constantly taking the basket off and zip tying it
 down the next time I needed it to go to the store. So my requirements were:
 Instant on/off, secure, elegant, lockable to the bike and not too heavy.
 All was achieved but the elegance. Not ugly, but I need to paint the silver
 bits...lol.

 I run panniers and a rear rack regularly. The basket is used as an
 additional overload for *planned* shopping trips.

 Check out the photos and descriptions. I tried to be clear as I could so
 you could make your own if you so desired. Progress through the photos from
 old to new. It should make sense after you get through the series of ten
 photos and the descriptions. http://www.**flickr.com/photos/fireman483/*

Great idea and excellent execution.
I think it looks clean and elegant myself.
