If I had the racks, it'd be fun to experiment with reconfiguring the comb rack into a more usable newer form.
ExMechanic89 just sent me this photo of a Comb type rack.
I could imagine chains with a ring at each end. Or even a cable. Easy to snag into a U-Lock. Chains can be cut, but one still has to deal with the U-Lock. Add an inner-tube or other protection to the chains if you want, and weave them through the bike frame.
