I just saw this at Ace Wheel works. Pretty neat!! The one there had a spring connecting the downtube and the brake bolt, which seemed to help stabilize the front wheel. Its got a two leg kick stand to boot!!

Great bike. Only thing, I just wonder why such big baskets / platforms in the front is resting on a small screw made for fenders (and racks, I know) instead of the axel? Also the braze on`s is not common in Europe, V brakes is. I bought a small front rack that rests on the V-brake screws. Resting there + on the axel would be a great setup, but I\we not seen this so far.

This white bike and the rack I guess is built for eachother, buy I wish somebody would make something that you could put on any old rigid MTB.

Nice bike. Love the colour (wow, I've turned into my wife).
Do you know what the frame is made of? I only ask because it's almost identical to Royal Mail post bikes which you can pick up here, used, for about £30. Of course, they are fully carbon - carbon steel, that is.
My friend used to have one. He called it Stalin, because it was big, red and totally unforgiving.
