Not everyone realizes I build Utility Bikes. I kind of like to stick a Fairing on the Front Platform, and I do get some pretty good downhill speeds, but these bikes are about load-carrying, small, but dense material, such as rock and gravel fill for trail-building. If this bike was in production, it would be easy to convert to an SWB, since it already has a boom on the front. All the tricks I learnt building Fiberglass, can carry-over to Carbon Fiber, just by switching the material.

I forgot to show this photo:



This is how the Bottle Cages are mounted to the Boom. The Bolts go all the way through the Boom , so the two bolts hold both Cages. The threads are glued with blue-Loctite, and the tips of the 8-32 bolts are filed down , so as NOT to penetrate the Bottles.
