wow, nice setup, cool idea with the mirror. And that's quite a load, respect...my gear carrying is a lot less so as of now the front has proved adequate, haven't tried it camping yet tho...

Agreed on getting the weight down as low as possible, I had a Yuba Mundo for carrying my kids but they were up high, great bike but needed the kids over a 20inch wheel...which I accomplished with a Bike Friday haul-a-day, tho that wasn't nearly as stiff, too noodly with two kids tho it worked great with one.
