Source for rear rack / front basket for Schwinn Suburban
I'm having trouble finding good quality aluminum rear rack and front baskets for our two Suburbans. I'm looking for something with a good fit, high quality, thick bars, and a matching (or similar) set for front and back. Thanks.

Try Wald.
They're value priced, American made and you can't really beat them for quality.
Rear baskets:

Front baskets:

Rear rack:
OMM White Rock Rear Rack:

Put it all together, you'd have a nice set for your Schwinn Suburbans.

Wald, it would have been what was used originally. I have several Wald baskets that have been beaten along for close to 20 years. Pretty they ain't, functional takes the cake any day at my house.

and #535 in back. Any more capacity and you'll want a motor for the bike.

Can't put anything BUT Wald baskets on a Suburban; anything else might be considered un-American!

Walds are nice. Mine has a hole to mount on fender eyelet and a hold for axle mount. None of those holes line up so that the basket will be even remotely level. I've tried on 7 different bikes. I don't have resources to tap more holes so hopefully they will fit well on your bike.
