My Trek 800 Antelope was initially converted for this use - had the mid-fork braze on's for a low rider rack. But I decided it was just too heavy and haven't really used it for that - instead it's my garage sale bike. I did convert an old Peugeot flat bar hybrid which worked well - with the 700C tires I was able to get knobby or smooth tires if I wanted it. It still weighted alot but not as much as the Trek.
