Happy new year, everyone. New development for those interested.

For a while now I've realized that the full-size CETMA cargo bike is more than I need. I don't have kids, and only occasionally need to haul really huge stuff. For my needs, a smaller, swifter, and lighter cargo bike is adequate. A vehicle fit for groceries, delivery, and stuff rather than people would suit me fine. So I made one, liked it, and now offer it as a regular alternative to the larger bike featured earlier in this thread. I've decided to name each bike: Largo and Margo--large and mini.

Introducing the Margo!





I'm really loving this bike as it's lighter and more suitable for my lifestyle. The Margo is about six inches shorter in wheelbase and width, and weighs about 10 pounds less than the Largo. While it can't carry huge volume, the ride is more nimble and easier to manage than the Largo.

Here they are together:





Here's a video of it in action:



And here's Margo with 160-something pounds of tire:



I'd love to hear opinions regarding this new version. It's kind of funny--the original prototype of this bike was about this size (and color). I doubt everyone reading this remembers.

Thanks as always for your feedback, everyone. I was recently reading through this thread and reminiscing. The evolution, thoughtful input, and drama makes for a fun read, if not a good record of the beginning of this bike.

Happy 2011 to all of you!
