How tall are you dude? If you can get yourself to Bethnal Green we have a mini and 3 mini-maxs built atm. Welcome to come and test ride them with/without weight. Obviously no obligation to go any further than just a test ride.

I also have a small mini in Hoxton you're welcome to test ride. Handling with heavy stuff has been great, except for carrying mates when it gets a bit sketchy. You can also get much more on the platform than you would think

WEight fixed on the mini, its a very good solution (also have two for sale, pm me).
Butchers fork only if your desperate to keep the frame, done a few conversions for people and honestly, a decent set of low rider mounted panniers on your existing fork is better. The butchers fork is a compromise, works, but very floppy handling at low speed and bike will fall over all the time when not being ridden, dutch spring isn't enough to counter it happening either.

Has anyone ridden both an omnium mini and something with a clydesdale fork? I have the latter and I'm not sure it's that much better than a standard porteur rack setup. Considering replacing it, and possibly the neutrino, with a mini, but I should just hold out until we move somewhere with space for a mini-max or some sort of midtail thing. Would be used for commute, groceries, fetching DIY stuff and the occasional tip run.
