Just thought i would share a project that’s nearly done since Im lurking here alot but never give anything back. I badly wanted a cargo bike, havent got a deivers license but two kids and offten find myself in need of transporting material for random builds. Since we live in a flat a long john style bike would be hard to store so I was longing for a Omnium mini max, but jeeez they are not cheap. So i got myself a old mtb frame, no stickers or anything but for the tube sticker wich was tange plain gauge. Perfect for a non pro welder to hack with. Billenky cargo bikes have made something very similar and it semmed like the easiset way to go from 26” mtb to a omnium mini max knock of.
So after a bit of drawing i had measuremts and templates to help me with holes and angles.
I found the fork at a local cargo bike builder thats now out of business unfortunatly.

Aaaand some pics. Just slabbed the wooden cargo area there yesterday, my idea is to make two foldable ”shelfs” in aluminium so that the whole bike becomes slinmer and easier to park in the shared bike space in our house.

If you don’t mind me asking how did you manage to get the holes correct in the beam for the 2 head tubes? Jig or drill press or luck?

I tried finding my drawings to show the process but couldnt find them right now. I modelled the whole bike in 3D and could then print templates to glue on the square tube that the headtubes go through. Then it was just to drill and file the oval shaped holes until the tubes went through and looked sort of straight.

Exactly, but it’ll probably not happen in a while… too much else too get done, too little time for bike stuff.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
