I've noticed that many messengers (or at least the riders that look like messengers) are rockin' baskets and racks probably for, like, carrying stuff or something. This is a trend I want to see more of! Post pics of your awesome blingy track bike covered in cumbersome baskets and racks and bungies and stuff.

like so:

It's the Longaberger basket headquarters in Newark, Ohio.

Not a fixed gear nor SS, but 3-speed internal. This is my wife's bike, but the child seat is on her bike, as it is easier on a step through.

Look up the porteur info on blackbirdsf--
messengers with racks of yesteryear.

they had races fully loaded--looks fun.
650b wheels--high fork rake, etc.

I figured this thread would be the place to ask. Can anyone recommend a medium sized basket that's a small step up from Wald? I'm thinking something a little sturdier and powdercoated that can handle a bit more weight. Cetma + regular basket + zip ties seems like the best option at the moment.
