I am living in Vienna, Austria – I was in contact with Xtracycles, and even had the webshop shopping basket filled with all needed things. They recommended myus.com for shipping (which I used now for a Jones handlebar). In the end I ordered the Surly Cargo Kit, mainly thinking of the Kid Corral, and the deck seemed for me better or more modern.
Will definitely post some pictures of the build! Currently it is just a frame (colored 'The Dark Side of the Maroon'), mounted headset, and a wheelset with cassette mounted but no tyres yet.
Where are you Madhias? Xtracycle can now ship direct to Europe and are quite good at getting back to you when you contact them. I was going to buy a Hooptie but Surly brought out the Kid Corral. It’s a shame about the wideloaders not being available/compatible anymore but Surly might bring their own version out although I’m not holding my breath as it took them 10 years to bring out the Kid Corral. Homemade bars might be the answer but that’s not something I could do. Do send some pics of your build.
