Yeah I guess - for now it will get a nexus IGH / dynamo wheelset and strapon fenders for winter.

Just bought this beauty for ~125€. Been ages since I've ridden a single speed.

Summer updates:

• sold the longjohn cargo - was too bulky to haul it up and down from the cellar
  
• bought an aluminium Omnium knockoff instead
  
• finally built the rat CX
  
• sold the GT - kinda sad about it, but did not use it much lately, and needed the space
  

Does not look a lot less safer than lets say a Velorex.

Finally got an Ursus Jumbo stand for the cargo. Repalced the ball joints on the steering linkage - no more death wobble \o/. Still eyeballing the vscoset tho...
Kinda forget about the budge CX, only needs a casette - the one I had lying around did not clear the spokes.
Also lost about 4 sets of bolts on the GT's rear fender. Ordered a cheap Win Wing knock-off, and its working like a charm (while being silent and light).

Yeah well, would be an easier install for sure. Price is steep tho for essentially only an upper part of a headset. Any chance You have personal experience with it?

Budget-cargo is on wheels.
Gotta get a steering damper and a kickstand still.
For the CX, Sensah 11 groupset arrived after almost 2 months. Got a Ritchey Venturemax, some old mismatch ultegra cranks, chain and cassette are missing only.
Also sadly the basement where I store most of the bike seems to be damp. Broke two chains due to rusting on the GT.

Anybody hacked a motorcycle steering damper on a long-john?
Finished the full rebuild / overhaul on the stainless steel bargain-cargo, but has awful front wheel wobble above ~20km/h

Kinesis still up for grabs?

Bought mine from the Bay.

Updates:
Replaced the mini cargo with a full size one, stainless steel frame. Turns out several welds were cracked, so took it to the frame builder for an overhaul. Still waiting for the steering linkage. Still a bargain, should be a sub EUR 1000 build.

Also, bought a beater CX. I'll try not to overbuild it, but cockpit swap is a must tho. Spent less than 200 EUR on it, and I want to keep it under 300 (and get rid of the campy drivetrain).

It was made to order for a small food delivery company. They eventually swapped bikes for scooters, so this has been neglected for the past 1.5 years. By that time the bike has already "paid for itself".

Joining the (proper) cargo bunch, bought this today for a whopping ~400 GBP. Stainless steel frame, definitely needs a full overhaul / rebuild tho.

I am not a fan of the direct mount stuff either, but as I understand, the potential load of a fall would be taken by the thru axle mostly, not the stays of the frame.

Cheers!

Forks are from a Kross Seto.

Finally I can chime in with my own build now that I've found fitting fenders.

Thanks! Forks are from a Kross Seto, sadly no info about the V brakes tho.

Cadex turned to be a bit small, but found fenders for the GT. Also updated the cockpit, got rid of the BMX bars.

Cheers!
Mini cargo is custom built by this guy: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064866390640

Built yet another winter beater - after I've got soaked the other night with the GT, I furiously started looking for fenders, but none of them fit due to the rear V brakes's horizontal cable.
Enters the Cadex, bit too small, so I'll probably swap the bars some thing with minimal sweepback.

Cargo is awesome, a lot more stable than the previous cycletruck when loaded.

Also went for a couple of early winter "gravel" rides - not proper SFAB, but getting close - pic is from the mellow first section.

Thanks all for the kind words.
The mini cargo is 20/16".

Updates:
Sold the Duell frame. sigh
Sold the Pompino. Kinda regret it now.
Sold the cycletruck.
Bought a mini long-john replacing the previous cargo.
Built a GT commuter.
Also bough a Cadex CFR-1 for yet another commuter build.
Rohloff-Gates-Lauf bike is now equipped with Magura Trail brakes.

Biggest question now, which bike to carry on a 3 week long campervan trip trough Slovenia - Italy - France - Spain - Mediterranean-sea islands.

Glad to see Action with a bike. Even with the crap saddle and the too big frame.

Edit:
The guy is Action Bronson. Ex-chef, now rapper, lost a crap load of weight in the past two years or so.

Got this one yesterday. WW build is nice and all, but aint really suitable for commuting (on awful roads).

Sure I have my list in excel. Forks are from Aliexpress (ofcourse), weighting 350g cut.
