Looks awesome. I had that rack and it was handy, or would have been had I used it with a more appropriate setup.

Good looking grass up there in the last frontier state.

Nice rig, too.

Front racks are cool...but you have to have the right fork otherwise the bike gets... squirrelly... I had to ditch mine due to this.

That is, well, ... unique ... almost like you could put some hockey sticks on the back and go to the rink. I'm not sure I would do it, but whatever makes you happy.

I like what you've done with the rig, in
