I moved out west from London nearly 2 years ago, we settled on Frome because my partner and I wanted to try living in a small town. Frome is lovely, nice shops, pretty streets and prior to lock down a good social scene. but Frome is a town of two halves, the new-comers trying to change and revive what was once a sleepy market town and the people who have lived there forever. those people as you would expect don't like "the out of town folk" (obvs not all of the people). In my experience those people were annoyed we were drinking in their pubs, happy to tell me that ppl like me have raised house prices and kept asking my "foreign Mrs" what's she gonna do after Brexit. we were there a year and we met some great ppl but ultimately we ended up in Bristol which we love.

This may not be helpful but I normally ride a 56cm (Im 6ft 1) and I ended up going with the XL size (supposedly 58cm) and it fits fine even with a decent amount of seat post.

Would you take £50 for the cetma rack?

Hey, i have a buillitt and when my little one was in a car seat i put it in rear facing with the base secured with giant racket straps. then slide the seat into place like you would do in a car with a seat belt. i also have the canopy which added a bit of security. or maxi cosi do a frame like the one picture- i didnt have a maxi cosi car seat so didn't use one

Ive got a macmini 7 for sale i5 2.8GHz CPU and 8GB Ram and 1TB Fusion drive, never opened.
i bought it for a media server project that i never got round to doing, still with the cellophane, i'm looking for £400 as i know the new ones are out now and they are shinier, lighter, sexier and all round better.

@BrickMan i was wondering the same thing, my Bullitt is great but fully loaded on the hills can be a problem. i've seen a couple of options but them seem expensive.

yeah, for the full rear brake, labour it was £180. its was a real pain and to make things worth i was insured and the insurance didn't cover removable parts which made me laugh. it was pedalsure - warning dont use those clowns

i had the rear brake (calliper, hose and lever) stolen from my bullitt, even the grips. the bike was locked and under a cover, i wouldn't assume that because its a cargo bike that no one would steal it. i think the only reason they didn't take the whole bikes is that i had two locks around the frame, it also has security skewers on the wheels. i think most of the thieves are opportunists, the only reason they didn't steal my front brake (they tried) is because the could get the calliper through the frame without un-attaching the hose. i love having a bullitt but its a pain to store as its too big for most bike racks and after recent events i have to life it over into my ground floor balcony every time i use it.

Does anyone fancy meeting for a beer next week? Would be good to get together and see what bikes we all have and maybe give some people interested in purchasing a cargo bike a chance to see them and get some advice. And it’s and excuse to have a beer.

I have the child seat also, it works well as I had both my god kids use it. Ones is 3yrs old and the other is 6yrs and it was good, I used it in conjunction with the canopy as it acts like a roll cage. The bullitt is pricy but in my opinion it ticked all the boxes. Let me know if you want any photos of the seat/canopy? London green cycles is great for cargo bikes, especially the stuff centred around family transport etc. Saying that mine was from Sbc cycles who were great and both the lads there are bullitt owners and have family's, they gave me great advice.

@Lanterne_Rouge my son is 11 months old he's been riding in it for about 3-4 months. The canopy is good I have a car seat I used to put the little guy in. I secured the base of the car seat to the base of the bike, then clip the top part of the car seat in and it's secure, however my only concern depending how little your cargo is, that when you do hit a pot hole and make them jump and sometimes cry. The canopy Keeps them warm and dry and you can open the sides up for ventilation.

@Lolo hey bud, how's things?

@svendhöek I don't actually know off the top of my head but I can have look.

just thought I'd way in as I have a bullitt and I run it either in child carrying mode or as my daily I run it with a bucket. The bucket is £25 it fits and SBC cycles do them.

I've had lots of punctures with these wheels, managed to sort it by replacing the Rim tape.
