Yeah I did try having a front rack that just clamped onto the fork and it ended up rusting and failing after a couple months. Another issue with my bike is that it does not have rear brakes and I'm not looking to fix that. Another thing is that it has twist shifters and they always give me a blister which is kinda annoying. Another thing is that I've always felt like my bike is too big for me by just a little bit.
I have only ridden the AWOL so far and really liked it, though I don't like gunmetal gray, like a lot. Can't stand it, so that's a problem. I don't even know how to ride a LHT, no one has them in stock.
