Stock rack or a custom build?

Stock rack, it used to have a tool drawer, long gone however. All Swedish bikes from the 30s to the 60s look pretty much like this. The basket on the front is my addition and gets plenty of use. I toss my backpack in it instead of
wearing it, keeps my back from getting sweaty.

Very cool utility ride!! Looks like it's straight out of a shop in Copenhagen... love the big basket - nice to find others that use their bikes for utility errands/work on here - (I'm sure there are lots of utility cyclist's
here... I just started looking!)

I've even transported 8ft peices of framing lumber by strapping them to the top tube (basket removed) sticking out in front and back. Got a lot of looks but a very stable ride, felt like a joisting knight on my charger!
Pedestrians look out!
