  About a month ago I got the Rawland Demiporteur V3 rack. Doesn't weight that much (something in between 300 and 400g when I remember correctly) and mounting was OK – although I would have needed these bent offset struts in long 425 mm version too, to be able to mount them on the top mount points of the fork. But for the light cable it is OK now like that.

  Working for a more or less big corporation we get now virus info mails instead of head count reduction mails (well maybe because they’re thinking now natural selection will happen) - even two bigger meetings were canceled now. Last mail I got was about packages from China, but that would fit to the other thread!

  I have ordered one Rawland Demiporteur for my Big Dummy a while ago when shipping was free worldwide, hopefully it is here soon, since "...the racks are now on water. All orders will be shipped immediately once the shipment lands."

  Today I was at a bike shop in Vienna here, and rode home then with PEdAL ED Reflective Gloves – let's see how they do in the next weeks. Feeling comfy, Made in Romania, and the wrist fits under the jacket.

  I would guess going up is easier than going down with v-brakes, and also if there is enough place for the wheels in the frame.

• Workwear; or, Dandy rigouts in which to perform manual labour.

  Since about 2 years I have Cofra Stoppata, of which the other models look similar to the one you mentioned: http://www.cofra.it/en/products/footwear­/footwear-lines/1-footwear/49-old+glorie­s?
