March!!
I am toying with getting Load 60.
Man that R&M design detail makes Bullitt feel a bit home made. I think I should have got R&M to begin with, bullitt has minor inconveniences which will make me snap one day and fire the money gun.

I think you need to remember that the Bullitt is primarily a utility cargo bike and the child add-ons are just that - add-ons. They're well thought out (in my opinion) but they are still add-ons. My bike is a step closer towards the utility end of the scale. It'll haul 100kg of junk to the tip in one go, but it makes using child add-ons even more difficult and the Bullitt looks quite easy in comparison! If I knew that a few years ago when I got my bike, and if I knew how little time I'd have now for making custom parts, I probably would have got a bike which was more primarily set up as a kiddie carrier and hauling would have come second.

my own fault - spent ages delaying filling out the interest free loan paperwork from the Energy Savings Trust.
Agree with points about cargo - the box in the r&m pacster 70 is non removable (the 60 and 80 models were removable) which is a real shame but we'll still own a car for bigger loads if needed. Reckon I'll only use the car a few times a month, hoping that car sharing takes off a bit more as paying all that cash for such low usage seems silly.

Too much plastic and gimmick for me. I throw firewood, bricks, lawns tools, cement in my bullitt, then hose it down and toss kiddos in it. I wouldn't do that with an R&M. Too much plastic and expensive proprietary stuff
I do not understand the suspension fork given it needs to contend with such a wide range of loads. There's no way it can be comfortable for 75 lbs of children and then also support 250 lbs of cargo the next day. It's also one more thing to service or break.
I do like the cable steering though, but not for the center or gravity mystery.
