My bike came back with the levers and brakes stripped, the cables twined around to mount a multitool and a rubber duck, new seat and handlebars and tail rack, and honestly a better front tire

I have to say that that is the weirdest tail rack I have ever seen.  Most of the ones I’ve seen have mounts above the back tire so they’re not putting torque down.  

Yeah I know, it’s a Topeak Beam Rack QR. I noticed in the course of just now putting back in the rear reflector that popped off and realizing the beam is hollow and stored a patch kit.
