Besides cofounding @lacyclerieliege, I also work as a bike mechanic in Brussels at @cyclo_bxl where I’m taking part in a project where we upcycle abandoned and donated bikes. This Cannondale M700 frame was set aside because of the headtube that had quite a bump (and also because of the unusual headset size).
As we spoke about making a mini cargo bike for the workshop with my colleagues, our friend @van_cau 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 @crustbikes clydesdale or the @velocicycle 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.
