Improved the beer hauling capacity of the extrabike... used surplus German military rain packs which were pretty much plug and play.

I am too Scottish to pay someone money for something I can do myself... the extension was a DIY project that utilized the rear triangle of a cheap full suspension bike and the Utility forum has a great DIY thread on home built longbikes.
The bike is going into it's 5th season and has never caused me a moment's problem and it always sees rather hard use because of the loads it carries.

Aw yes. rides so gewd
It will only get better with new wheels/tires/saddle - in time
I had to throw in a couple in-line barrel adjusters since removing the original brake levers. Braking doesnt seem to be effected.

Nice drop bar conversion there!!! Damn, that's a long stem for drop bars with modern-shaped brake hoods.
