Portland Design Works has been busy over the winter. Heading into the new year, they’re launching four new products that will help make it easier to go by bike. In addition to The Fatty Object we covered yesterday, there’s also a beautiful new Task Basket and Everyday Rack, plus Full Metal fenders for 650(b)east from PDW.

Task Basket

Up front, you can now carry more than a sixxer with the PDW Task Basket which is bigger than their Takeout Basket. Measuring 230 x 305 x 127mm for the inner dimensions, there’s also an integrated ULock carrying slot on the right side of the basket. The bottom of the basket has a bamboo platform, and the rack frame is made from aluminum tubing. Underneath you’ll also find a tube that is the perfect size to mount your headlight so your groceries don’t block your lumens.

To accommodate different bikes and handlebars, the mounting bracket is adjustable to fit 22.0 – 31.8mm handlebars, and is angle adjustable as well. The rack itself weighs 500g, and it has a maximum load capacity of 5 Kg. $129Go by Bike w/ beautiful new basket, rack, and 650b fenders from Portland Design Works

On the back, the new Everyday Rack will work with frames with eyelets – or frames that don’t have eyelets but do have q rear QR skewer.

That’s a really nice looking basket.

Only one gripe: Why not offer both rack and basket with the same finish? I would be all over a set of both in black.

Nice rack. Quality basket too. As stated above, they should both have the same finish.

5kg? That really limits utility. This is a showpiece.
