It's the Surly 8-pack rack. I'm impressed with how sturdy and well-built it is, and the welds are nicer than on a Soma Champs Élysées rack I had on another bike. At first it bugged me that it was longer than the basket, but it's grown on me. There's definitely utility in having support for something strapped in front of the basket. It doesn't have a light mount, but it was extremely easy to mount a piece of chainring on one of the strut clamps and use that, an idea I got from a Rivendell blog post I can't find right now. Also, it would be easy to double-up with a lowrider rack, in case I ever get around to a longer tour.
