Nice rack. I want it.

The whole build reminds me a bunch of this sweet Hufnagel porteur:

the paint's chipping and has been patched in a few spots with a slightly darker shade so I need to repaint it with the same color at the very least. but I really like the elegant look of black porteur builds and since I'm repainting it anyway I think I'm gonna try black. I ordered some new decals and everything. if i don't like it I can always repaint again back to this color.
