I went a different route. Wanted something more unique and smaller / lower profile. I searched everywhere that had some kind of basket, home stores etc. Nothing really clicked. Then I stumbled across a yetti cooler and it had a basket that was just what I was wanting. The coated wire was roughly the same diameter of cable housing so it really blended in. It was at rei and it was cheap for this kind of thing. $10 for the 10" x 10" x 3" , and $13 for the 13" x 13" x3". I did not use a all in one unit. Just now looking for names to post it see a Canyon cooler basket that looks great and a bit more square, nicer for cup holders. Not sure about the wire thickness... I Also I just came across a front porteur rack at a lbs by Electra. Electra loft front the rack is what they are calling it. It's 8 inches wide so it's a few inches wider then most racks. But the Electra rack married with a yetti basket is what is on my main ride.

I have a 1372 mounted to a Salsa Minimalist
She has what I believe is a 198
Both are great but for me the shallower 137/1372 with some sort of bag.
