Good choice, here's my secret recipe:
(that's Satin Green Apple if you can't read it. coverage was really good.)
That stuff on top of freshly beadblasted steel worked beautifully. Although, the Krylon clear puckered the Rustoleum topcoat a little bit where it got thick in the corners of the bottom bracket lug. Oh well. I'd recommend using the same brand for primer/topcoat/clear.

If you are talking about the black bike at the top of the page, it kind of looks like a rear rack, but on the front... idk I'm probably very wrong about this.

Liking the aesthetic here and the set up looks really decent too... would lose the painted chain and go for silver or even brown in a quality model... the white chain is distracting.
Looks like your bike is too small for you but if it is comfortable that is what is most important.

My Kilo Stripper arrived yesterday morning, LBS built it yesterday afternoon, rode through Central Park yesterday evening. Asked LBS not to install the rear brake, but they did anyway for "safety reasons" ... I'll ride with it while I get used to fixed gear on my commute and then remove it once I'm comfortable. Need a new saddle ASAP.

Yup, it's a rear rack. I don't imagine it can hold much weight (right now), so far I've only transported 3 bottles of beer that were wrapped in cloth and bungeed. It's attached to the front fork via the metal clip and zipties as bolts as I did not have one present. lol.
