Mulligan: Thanks!

The rack is a Bontrager rack I bought at a local Trek store. $40 I think. I bought it to be compatible with Trek's over-priced rack bags (Interchange I think).

If you watch Nashbar, you can get a rack that works just as well for about $10. On my other backup commuter I use the same Nashbar pannier with a cheap rack I got off Nashbar.

As for the Coffee Thermos: I'm generally pleased with it. It's been durable, has had no leaks, and has been dropped and banged around many times. The only issue is the release cap is a bit finicky, but the important thing is that it seals my hot coffee in there. $30 on Amazon
