It looks very interesting as a concept. Interesting reading too.
How different are the 2 "long bikes"? I mean, the Big Dummy is designed to be long/handle the heavy load while the Free Radical kit relies on the existing wheel. Did you have to make any significant equipment adjustments with the Cannondale conversion? Like a wider tire, stronger wheel?
