They are good bags. I have them on my Violet Crown Cycle Pa Ferguson.

On the availability front, I’m sure Basil will have some comparable bag in the near future. If you really like the Memphis and can put up with some flowery designs, the Blossom line is essentially the same bag slightly larger in a more colorful manifestation.

Just wanted to thank you for this informative review, which played a major role in my decision to buy a set of the Memphis bags. The bags are great!! Unfortunately, however, it looks like Basil has discontinued this product. :-( http://www.flickr.com/photos/jgmjr/4425138775/ Cheers! Hey Marcus.

My dream grocery getter... and only $58. http://www.velo-orange.com/bamepa.html A very good price considering how hard this type of bag is to find in the U.S. I've been admiting the bakfiets and other similar euro bags like this for years... though my metal folding racks have served me well... they just don't have a lot of style. http://flickr.com/photos/mmeiser2/2623015799/ So I hadn't seen anyone who sold these in the U.S., but I should have known Velo Orange would... they seem to be popping up on my radar alot lately. My only issue... they might be actually to nice and to easy to put on and off to leave curbside... damn thieves... but then... if their so easy to take on and off, I guess they probably carry pretty well. Will have to order a pair as soon as I get a chance. Awesome.
