I scanned through this whole thread and didn't see another tricross so I guess i'm representing alone...

This is my bike loaded for an over-nighter up the Lake Superior shoreline. When I wanted to start doing trips on my bike my options were to buy a small $40 rear rack to fit my bike at my local shop OR I could spend $19.83 + five and a half hours of crafting to make my own custom rack that is way larger than anything I could by at the store. So here is a picture of my new rack too!!! It was so easy to make I think I'll be making one for the front as well.
