Volume Thrasher utility cargo bike

So I built up this Volume Thrasher 2 years ago to try and do tricks on.
Turns out I suck at doing tricks so the bike sat around doing nothing.
Since I dropped a lot into the bike I decided to keep it and make it a grocery getter.

First I covered it in automotive camo stickers so no one would ever want to steal it when locked up outside.
Then I added Bontrager 700x45 fenders, Bontrager Backrack up front, and generic aluminum rack in back.
Then I spent 2 days looking for a manly metal mesh file folder basket to put up front but they don't exist here.
With no metal basket alternatives I caved in and ended up getting a huge wicker planter (sprayed it black) up front and a shallow plastic one in back.
I anticipate riding with more stuff/weight up front and the large basket would not fit on the rear rack because it is too close to the seat.

Right now it is geared low for tricks so I am waiting for a bigger chainring and smaller cog from ebay.
