This Cannondale M700 frame was set aside because of the headtube that had quite a bump (and also because of the unusual headset size). <br />
As we spoke about making a mini cargo bike for the workshop with my colleagues, our friend <a href="https://pixelfed.social/van_cau" rel="external nofollow noopener">@van_cau</a> remembered this discarded frame and so the project began by fixing the headtube then having an headset adapter machined for us so that it could fit a regular 1’ 1/8’’ fork. Back in Liège, I made a mini cargo fork inspired by other models like the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/crustbikes" rel="external nofollow noopener">@crustbikes</a> clydesdale or the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/velocicycle" rel="external nofollow noopener">@velocicycle</a> n° 08. We then built the bike with a mix of new and old parts. It is now ready to carry parts and running errands in town. <br />
