Racked it today as well!!!!
 
well, I put fenders on last night a needed new derailleur today, and I bought a new rack while at the LBS getting the derailleur. I got home and installed the new derailleur, and mounted the new rack.

Honest opinions please, does it look OK with the rack? I've been wanting to put one on for some time but never got around to it, and think I might be adding too many extras to the bike like the bags and rack and fenders..... Sometimes I go overboard:eek:

how's that flickstand working ;)

rack looks fine. it's the other stuff that's a bit busy for my eyes. kill the handlebar and seat bags and throw a single pannier on the left instead.

Nice rack! Matches the frame colour well.

Looks perfectly fine to me.

Very funny :( LOL..... I did not think of that untill after I had installed the fenders:o Very good idea to rid the bike of the bags and get a pannier, but any reason for having it on the left side?

To keep it away from the chain and freewheel/cassette.

Great looking bike and upgrades.

mount a light. There's a thing they make that screws into an eyelet and give a little bar that you can mount a light to. Light is good.
