i'm just looking at getting on for my hack bike and wondering if you had any issues fitting it?

chain length / jumping off,?
non-compatible drop outs on the donor bike?
could it carry an adult sitting on the deck?

thanks in advance for any info.

I think Stoner off here has one.

I looked at them but for another £200 or so I got a complete Kona Ute instead, admitedly it was heavily reduced in a sale. I love it.
I carried my 13st brother on it with no problems, but its normal cargo is my 5 & 6 yr olds on the school run.

Stoner is your man. He's got one.
Charliethebikemonger does them (or used to).

Yeah I can get them, BUT the surly big dummy is a much better way to go. Get a donor bike and a dummy frame set.
It's waaaaaay stiffer and the handling is great. I have had 19 stone chaps on it. Best one was dog + daughter + surfboard + picnic.
