>>1848188>>1848191>>1848192Thank you guys for the advice. I ordered a backswept handlebar, ratcheting straps, bungee cords, front rack, non qd axles. However I sent it to my previous address so some of them already shipped and I would have to pick up those when I go home next, the rest hopefully will get cancelled.
I was looking at a kryptonite evo 4 chain lock, but the only one that had in stock was the 21" mini which kinda nullifies the practical use of a chain style lock, although its lighter and less bulky.
When I get all the parts together probably in 2 months, Im thinking of doing a teardown to spray paint the frame and fork. The racks are for taking ammo and guns to the range, or for extra supplies if/when I go bikepacking, and for groceries. Is a front rack really a meme, is it even worth the weight, will it decrease performance even when its not loaded up?
And lastly, Do you think this bike looks kinda crappy or what? I hope that will increase the "beater" factory, add maybe a small bit of security
