You guys aren't helping

Now I'm thinking of going on CL locally to find a big wire basket and an old Brooks B-17. I thinks somebody slipped me a mickey when I wasn't looking and my brain has suffered some sorta shift in aesthetic processing.

Seriously, though, I will probably own this by the end of the month. **sigh** And I will probably go with Alex's suggestions to update/un-suckify it. And I will probably ride it lots and look decidedly un-styleman-ish. And I will probably love it.
