"Hey Reba,   Those look nice, similar to the Surly Big Dummy, but I wanted something with a front cargo area to haul my dog around. I ended up buying a Torker trike from Comrade Cycles. I'll need to build up the walls on the cargo box but…"

Ash L. replied to Thaddeus's discussion 'Double Dutch Cargo bike?'

"I'm on my way there! Couple more of these Oak Barrel Stouts, and I'll be maxing out the old Visa! Are you happy with the Joebox? Disc brakes? Does she handle pretty good?  "
