Here the bike I just bought! It's being shipped my way now! I plan on fixing up the existing rack, and I just bought a Crutch Tip rack for the rear from someone on this forum too!

Gonna be racked out!

I see a future 'Epic Fail' with this solution.
Granted, most cyclist are hit from the rear, but as a cyclist, I've hit more things in the front... :mrgreen:

Take a look at the rear rack I've almost completed. Bike will have a matching front basket as well.

i'm already to far into mine to compete but, that might make an interesting buildoff.

does anyone remember that fixie forum link where the members had to make a bike that could carry a set list of groceries? could be fun, and practical.
