wahoo.

my baskets that fit under the rear seats have turned up, they just missed the local mini show by a week :cry:

these are fantastically made, had to get them shipped from the UK to the land of OZ, but it was all worth it after finally laying my eyes on them :D

i'm super happy, my 544 cam arrived at the same time. its raining goodies, now i need to buy some time to finish building the motor :D

Do you reckon you could pick-em apart and make up a snappy how-to??


We could get the ladies from the womens auxiliary to show us how to weave some baskets....or a couple of talented arts students...

How's it go? Knit one-pearl one...

That's pretty good actually, I was figuring it would be twice or more...

Nice! Is there a strap or anything to fix them in place, or do they simply tuck in under the seat?

(Do they do them in carbon fibre? :P )

No they just fit in nicely, and because of the design they don't slip forward, from some of the brief mentions I found on the net , people only had a problem if they were not packed properly or put back properly.
