Then, finally, the cheap alloy racks both broke and got replaced. The new rear rack is stainless steel and is an absolute monster that can carry anything.
I also wore out the front rim so much i made a hole in the brake track, which led me to build some new wheels and put on a dynamo so I'd never have to recharge (or loose) a light ever again.
So this is how it looks today - as far as I can tell it's a fully-optimised, bomb-proof, thief-proof, touring, commuting rat bike thing.
