Harder better faster stronger...
I had some inspiration for improving my improvised cargo bike, even though it was already a thing of ingenuity and beauty, it now has even sleeker lines.

After: it only awaits the longer forks (1" ground clearance looks cool but not so practical when I need to pwn a kerb!) and the bespoke wooden rack which I'll fit this week...pics to follow!

Is that rear hub a PowerTap?!
Odd choice.
Otherwise, well done, top bodging.
1 question if i may?
Why bother locking it up? 😉
It's a 1st generation nexus roller brake hub I had lying around.
bigsi - I've put my heart and soul into this bad-boy, I'd be gutted to see it go.
bigsi - the lock is to stop anyone from stealing the bike rack.
There are 2 locks 😡
No spoons. No upsidedown treehanging. No effort in this one. 🙄
Still lolz at the lock
Houns your just a haterz.
Al knowz i loves him, he just needs being told how it is sometimez
little bit of sick etc
Attention bump for al.
Ow come on al. Your not going to get any attention unless you try a bit harder than this. Over an hour with no reply, i thought you could do betterer than that.
When are you putting them into full production?
I've been trying to control myself stu. Without a library of "bikes hanging from trees" pics it's tough.
You got a close up of how you've joined the frames together? Looks pretty good and I'm tempted to have a go myself.
I like it, would like to see cargo apparatus
George it's a bolt through the top tube and seat-clamp.
I expect it to fail at which point I will beef it up somehow.
Rear BB bolts to front dropouts.
Well, they said it couldn't be done, but goldarnit sir, you've [i]polished[/i] it...[img]

Should be stable at speed with the super long wheelbase, not so good on the corners
Has your bike scared all the other bikes away?
😡
You gonna do a cheap spray job on it Al? I wanna go on it!
I like it, would like to see cargo apparatus
Agreed. It'll make more sense when the carrying stuff is in place.
Cargo bikes are ace. Even bodged ones.
[s]al - how does the hub brake behave with a tensioned chain?[/s]
aha, beg pardon. I see its a track end at the back! dOh!
what does it ride like?
Was it worth it would you recommend it to others?
Not as professional looking as the fork job but I do like the concept and execution.
you could use it as a tandem [ tag along /seat] if you had young kids - was that part of the plan?
There's got to be a spoon in there somewhere.
