truth be told the #cannondalerack didn't make for the best commute, (rack, racey geo, alu, 25c tyres)
so the rack went on the Goldsprint with brklz a la @roboto 's setup. Just filled the Chrome bag full of old textbooks and went on a short ride to see the handling under a heavy load...the steering is noticeably different (obviously), and I suspect I'll end up putting brakes on (is drilled) but it's a far better 'feeling' than the 'dale. May swap tyres for RiBMos as I suspect I'll be doing a little more skidding until I eventually accept that a front brake is a good idea. Which then prompts swapping wheels for my Open Pro to System Ex hubs as I don't wanna mess up the TB14 surface...
