Having checked out and ridden brand new Trek Transport and Yuba Mundo bikes, i can tell you they ride nicer than my parts bin special, but i have a lot of pride in my custom bike too!

HSean, What kind of troubles with the Radish? I'm a bit surprised to hear that.
I think my home built extrabike stands up just fine... prefer to haul really big loads in the trailer but for the past 4 years my home built bike has hauled a great deal of stuff and never caused me a second of grief..
