Here is my new transparent rack trunk on the Viscount Sebring. At 283g including 2 bungee cords, it is half the weight of my previous trunk, holds twice as much in the same space, and costs $2.19 at Target. Plus it doubles as a wash basin, laundry tub, and license plate holder.

Perfect size for that rack, which I'm happy to see you've mounted so that it's horizontal. As someone who's a bit obsessed with finding the perfect portaging set-up (pro tip: it doesn't exist), I say well done! b

Ingenious. The plate on the back is a nice touch. I like these cost effective ideas or repurposing an item for cycling which will work perfectly fine. I looked into buying a nice Carradice saddle bag for my 3 Speed but for how much I use it couldn’t justify the price, so ended up using a Polish Army bread bag.  115B448E-0660-4219-9033-3A8E42881B42 by Franco_AC, on Flickr |

In my opinion, it’s always best to tailor a bike solution to your needs. And that certainly doesn’t mean the most expensive way either. Great ideas abound on this forum. Best, John “wheelson” |

Great size Brian. Any bigger and you could be getting some bounce around, even with hefty bungees?
I love that army bread bag Franco - that started me on a search for ex-army fabrics.
