Valiant Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Cool. +1 for mig construction. Furniture tube and exhaust tube work great, the chain stays wont be very strong the way they are in the picture with small diameter tube? I'd be tempted to use one piece of large diameter with smaller chain stays at the end in a Y configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 No mig lol I only own a TIG. I’ll do a bit of reinforcing of the places that look a little weak. The chain stays will be 16mm furniture tube. Tie down points - tick Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I see quite a few cargo bikes daily now, most look as below. Good idea for a project though as most retail options seem to run close to 10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
