  • good shout - managed to find it after a bit:

    and here it is without a load:

    very nice!
    For my potential project, I was thinking of trying to hack together the front rack from parts of an old shopping trolley that has been sitting around abandoned near my street.

    It sounds like conventional wisdom is that the weight should not be on the forks as this will make steering difficult, is that right?

  • I think weight on the frame is good, although steeling and the load not moving is strange for about 2 minuets. You soon get used to it. I built something similar to this a few years ago. Will find a photo tomorrow.

  • Depends upon the degree of trail. If you build a bike with lower than normal trail then it will be a bit twitchy unladen but then will settle down under load.
