The bungies on my 80s-era lone peaks are still good, but they get 10-15 days of use per year, max.[/quote]
Exactly the same on my Jandd. If they lived outside, I’d be a little more worried.
Also, Rusty ruins everything AND lives in Chicago, where they start salting the roads in August.
That literally wasn’t ridden one foot.
Clankety clank

No no no in August in Chicago it’s 100 degrees fucking centigrade and when you ride you blast about a gallon of sweat onto your bike and it dries and you wind up with NaCl stalactites coming off the underside of your stem. Winter salting doesn’t start for like, six weeks after that and really only goes for about five months holy shit why do humans inhabit the Great Lakes

Artisinal bespoke bungies anyone?[/quote]

Tubus makes a more vanilla version with high quality hooks: http://tubus.com/product.php?xn=57
I have a small bungie net I got from the LBS a million years ago, works great. If that’s not enough I usually throw a milk crate on the rack. If that’s still not giving me all of it, no shame in using hardware store bungies.
From a few weeks ago, been meaning to post.
New busted $8 ebay rack, apparently they can’t hold like 25 lbs going down stairs and through pot holes. Who knew.
New rack with about an hour and a couple pieces of scrap.
It’s ugly as fuck but it works till I have time to make something better.
Stitching is shit, this is just a mockup. Once I figure out how I want it I’ll break it down and make patterns.
use that torch to set those fenders on fire
That guys dyno wiring is spectacular
yeah, my friend’s bike…lots going on.
burn the dynamo wiring while you’re at it!
Thanks for tastefully cropping out what is sure to be a skyhigh rustystack
Actually, I think we need a full shot of this glorious mess!
Nah more pics of that cat
Am I seriously the only person in existence without a jackass build on my grando?
Like what the fuck man?
I stripped my wolverine so people wouldn’t know it’s a soma.
So to answer your question, yes.
of course. The bike is designed for jackass builds. I can’t wait to see what the new vo polyvalent builds look like. (not really)
