I've done this with a non-removable Newsboy basket, tossing the standard hardware and using hose clamps but letting the basket hang below the bar and the brake levers. My brakes were calipers, tho; I don't know if you can get it to work with cantis.
I may just try this again, on the m-barr'd (Nashbar, steel) m-bars, but with a smaller basket than the Newsboy. The problem with mounting a basket thus is that it puts the basket considerably further forward than with regular 3 speed type bars; also, the mounting position tends to site the basket sloping toward the front, so that your six packs and gallons of milk tend to slide as far forward as they can; the total effect is a lot of weight at the very front of a large basket already too far forward for comfort. A small basket should work much better. On Sun, May 3, 2009 at 10:18 PM, David Estes <cyclotour...@gmail.com> wrote: > Anyone able to get their removable basket properly mounted?
