i got these baskets off craigslist but these are exactly what i have, with all the same parts.The biggest issue for me was successfully installing the baskets onto my bike. maybe if i wasn't just a regular ol commuter but a bike tech, or superman, i'd be able to get them on. i have an 18.5" Jamis commuter. the main problem is not the "legs" that attach near the wheel, but attaching the parts at the bottom of the seatpost. it has so far been impossible because once attached, the attachment prevents the back brakes from functioning.in the process of trying to attach, i've scratched up some paint on my bike.
i went to a local bike shop and someone there thankfully devised a solution for $5. i love the baskets!
thus, while i recommend the baskets, you should know that depending on your bike, you might run into a little trouble installing
