Paint and build a front racked town bike

Still to do:

• Wald basket. Super practical, and budget dictates that the pricier front racks are left alone. Should be plenty for my commuting / shopping needs
  
• Guards. Metal, pref chrome. This is why I can't afford a fancy rack ;)
  
• Switch the cassette for an ~11-32. The two lowest cogs are not accessible to the derailleur. I can switch with my other winter bike which has a longer cage and smaller cassette, but need a new chain for it first.
  
• Brown grips. I've decided I quite like the tan saddle with the aqua blue, so black grips need to go.
  
  

Oh, and thanks again to @Colonel_of_Truth for suggesting these drop brake shoe dooberries, so pleased to keep the 600ex brakes together on it! They seem to have very little flex as far as I can tell, would recommend if you ever find you have the reach at the front but not the back.
