Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I have put on a front soma porteur rack and I must admit that although the bike is fine to ride with, it has taken a lot of the fun out of riding it, the handling has changed a lot. I think I will try out a rear VO constructeur rack with a carradice rack top as an alternative as I dont need to carry that much everyday. What a shame as the rack looks great.

All the bolts have rusted already after exactly one ride in the rain! Would have expected them to be stainless like the rack. Poor show soma
