That seat looks like it was designed by someone who wore Depends. I see street people on a bike sometimes with that very wire basket packed to the hilt, tooling down a busy street.

Looks like a diamond in the rough to me. Clean up as much of the crud as you want then ride it. Who cares what it looks like as long as it goes.
