Never said I didn't - you, however claimed that this was overpriced and not needed.

Well, your initial post sounded fairly accusatory, as if people we just throwing money away.

If neither of the latter existed, then it would be presumptuous to call it overpriced. But they exist, so it's not.
Free Rad will need a previous bike that works, install time, and monkeying with parts and adjustments. It will also probably ride much differently than an integrated frame.
You're comparing this to a Yuba?
Was that the single speed version?
Does the Yuba include bags and accessories designed to work with the cargo system?
Disc brakes?
