FOUR 175 pound steel blocks by mistake. An old client of ours bought a fancy wicker chair and had it shipped it to us. Somewhere along the line, the 25lb chair was set on top of a pallet that contained 700lbs of steel, then covered in blankets and everything shrink-wrapped together. There was no address on the steel blocks and the shipper who sent the chair to us didn't know anything about them. Somehow, no one wondered why this chair weighed so much. I've used these blocks as counter weights for some weird rigging, extra weight in the back of a van for winter driving, an anvil...

That is a VO rack on top of a VO fender. That as actually why I wanted to cut the bags in the first place. I didn't want to cover up the oval platform of the rack. The rack is bolted directly to the fender (both holes), with nothing running to the brake bridge.
