Retrospec Apollo Detachable Front Bike Basket Steel Half-Mesh with Integrated Detachable Hooks and Built-In Handle, Easy Assembly and Portability for Bicycles

Love it. Sturdy, well made, and well designed. Fit the Treck easily.

I really liked the basket. I liked the way it was easy to install and the size of the basket, and how easy it is to remove it from its carrier. But I discovered that my bike's geometry did not work well with this basket. The handlebar stem on my bike is too short and it made the basket. Stick out at a strange angle. That made it feel heavier than it was. I have some other bikes and it would have worked fine on them if they needed a basket, but they didn't. I don't know how you figure out if your bike has the right geometry but if your handlebar stem is fairly long and angles out over your front wheel, it will probably be great for your bike. If you have a short stem that does not angle out, it puts the basket at an odd angle and makes it have weighting issues. I was trying to put it on my ebike. You can see from the photos that the light is in the way, but that could be moved down to right above the tires. That was really not an issue. If you look at the picture with the blue arrows, you can see one arrow is straight-up-and-down. The other arrow is the angle of the basket, which is really quite tipped on my bike. On my husband's bike the handlebars angle out in such a way that it would have been fine for his bike, but he doesn't want a basket.

This basket is great! It is firmly secured to the bike, but it pops right off when you pick up the handles, so you can use it as a reusable shopping basket! 5 stars UPDATE: I've been using the basket for about 2 months now, and while I'm still happy with it, a few things have popped up 1) I have 2 different bikes, and the handlebar mount doesn't fit as well on one bike, which puts it in danger of popping off the handlebars unless it's loaded. Be aware, and keep at least a small load in the basket! 2) As another review noted, it's easy to have the end caps pop off the handles (it's happened twice to me). This makes the basket unsafe, but it's easy to fix. Just buy screw end caps of the right size at your local Home Depot or other hardware store.

✅️: fast arrival, pretty color, great size ❌️ hard to set up, not very sturdy hold, had to use zip ties You will be happy if you give it proper care

Beautiful blue a perfect addition to my daughter's bike. The quality, sturdy metal. Definitely recommend

The Reason for Selection: I am converting my old 1990s mountian bike to a errand runner The Good: The basket and hardware are of good quality The Bad: Nothing bad. The Ugly: The design of the mounting hardware is flawed General observations: The basket dimentions is what is indicated on the listing. It is big enough for a moderatly full bag of groceries. Either the installation instructions need to be better or the design needs to be a lot better for the quick mounting hardware. As soon as I put in 10 pounds of cargo, the stabaliser arm collapsed. It didn't dump the contents but the bottom of the basket made contact with the head stem tube. The velcro securing strap also came and lost it's mounting place on the stem tube. In order to fix, I used some tie wraps to give the mounting hardware the support it needed to not buckle under the weight of cargo. For the price point, it is an ok solution for a small handelbar basket. I would prefer to have more secure hardware on the bike mounted quick release portion. There is a chance that there is a better way to install the hardware, but the installation instructions did not really address much in terms of specifics. I won't send it back for a refund, but I would also not purchase again. Value for Price: From my perspective and experience, the price of $26.99 is Fair.

Easy to put on, easy to take off, holds plenty of items and the bottom makes to hard for things to slip through. It functions very well.

My bike has gear & brake cables in front of the handle bars, it took several tries to get the cables situated with the bracket & basket so the basket didn’t interfere with cable function & steering. Now that it’s on, it works perfectly. I like way the basket handles double as the lock to hold the basket to the bracket. Easy on easy off. Perfect size for small errands, the mesh on the lower part of the basket keeps small things from falling through the basket.
