Those look awesome, I actually lived outside Springfield for 2 years but moved back to NYC 3 years ago unfortunately. The only kids I'd stick in the back would probably be goats though . . .

Pardon my lack of dimension, perspective or scale in this drawing but, would a cross member from the headtube to the DT be the thing I drew an arrow pointing to? So essentially, there'd be three bars, two going from the rack to the DT, and one in the middle going from HT to DT?
