Since its almost summer, I’m looking for a cheap solution to mounting a bag inside a wald/front kmart basket. There’s obviously a few bougie/radavist options, like North St and Swift, but given the bag would then be worth more than the bike it seems pointless. Has anyone found a good substitute for this? Closest i can find is: [http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/600D-Molle-Outdoor-Shoulder-Bag-Hand-Carry-Bag-with-Adjustable-Padded-Belt-Black/131756569417?\_trksid=p2060778.c100276.m3476&\_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140813105702%26meid%3Dbefc92bcbbf847be800667c2c82ed6ce%26pid%3D100276%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D131906257881](http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/600D-Molle-Outdoor-Shoulder-Bag-Hand-Carry-Bag-with-Adjustable-Padded-Belt-Black/131756569417?_trksid=p2060778.c100276.m3476&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140813105702%26meid%3Dbefc92bcbbf847be800667c2c82ed6ce%26pid%3D100276%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D131906257881) Potentially with the front/back pockets unstitched, seems about the same size as the north st one? ---

A bag you already own like a messenger bag plus a bungee cord. ---

> [@WestToastPete](#): > > YUCK ftfy > [@MikeD](#): > > A bag you already own like a messenger bag plus a bungee cord. Nope - too big/wont fit. Want this to be fairly snug in there and fixed to the bike most of the time. Ended up buying the ebay bag above for $20 - will see what it likes when it arrives and report back. ---

Terra Rosa Gear started making them (check Insta). Chris at Pedal Cyclery might even have stock of them. Not sure on $$$ ---

Didn’t know where to put this, but in the search for the perfect front basket bag (wald/kmart varietal), i came across this at mitchells’ camping/disposals store: Huss 11" Mechanics Tool Bag, looks like this: ![](https://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/m/mL-LXGvv_RgiSdYiFKJ_iVw/s-l225.jpg) Details here: (mind all the macho combat pics) [http://www.huss.com.au/resources/catalogue/Huss\_BagsCatalogue.pdf](http://www.huss.com.au/resources/catalogue/Huss_BagsCatalogue.pdf) Princely sum of $19.95, comes in black/camo/olive drab. Will use mine for a little bit and do a brief review, but out of the box its a much better fit than the other types i’ve had before. ---

Hi Droz, Thanks for sharing this info with the team. I am happy with my Terra Rosa bag, but would modify a few things if it were up to me. How will you fasten your camo bag to the basket? ---

I got it from Mitchell’s Camping in SYD CBD. Not sure if they are a chain or not? In regards to fixing, I cut the cotton webbing on the sides intended for the should strap and put some press studs on. Will post some pics tonight. ---

looks like there’s a few of them: [https://www.mitchellsadventure.com/storelocator/](https://www.mitchellsadventure.com/storelocator/) Might measure up my basket and go have a look at the CBD shop. ---

Just realised Photobucket has killed external linking so need to post photos elsewhere. ---

That bag looks perfect. I’m currently using an old Chrome messenger bag in a Kmart basket and it works okay, but I’ll search out one of those bags at Mitchell’s this weekend. What’s the waterproofness like on it? ---

Can confirm that the two Adelaide stores don’t stock any Huss stuff. Any Sydney-siders wanna help me out? ---
