Hey, I was out there that day also!  I was passing through and couldn't pass up 
a chance to ride along the lake.

First of all, there's nothing like a bullmoose quickbeam. Second, your QB set 
against the Chicago skyline is probably my all-time favorite bike photo.

 Flatbed for a Nito Mini. The Flatbed was just too bulky for the doors and 
 elevators I need to navigate before I get to street level. The Mini/Sackville 
 combo works great for these excursions. I may add a flat rack out back to 
 allow grocery-getting / longer adventures. Also swapped out the front paul 
 touring brake for a Ne-Retro. (And the other mis-matched pair are on the 
 Bombadil now.) Check out the Sonnet I found at Lincoln Park Zoo in the Flickr 
 set - Shakespeare must have ridden an early Quickbeam!

It looks very nice. Much better, IMHO than with the flat rack on the front.
I think that it you don't always need a flat rack, the Platrack is the way
to go. It seems you have one as seen in previous photos...
