Hello!
This is my project for this year build off. For now i've got the drawing of the frame I'm going to build.



There will be no bends, just a lot of cut tubes but this time i believe it wont fail like the frame i tried to put together last year.

Reminds me of college. But you tend to build some cool stuff, so I'm watching.

In my mind it will look something like this. Fat rear wheel... something like 26 x 80 rim and 3.5 or 4 inch tire and a fixie wheel in the front.

Welcome back boro.
It's always cool to have an international builder join in the fun.

Hello!
Did not post here for quite a time. Some changes happened I'm my life.. got new job and moved to another city. So I did not have any time to work on my project.
Yesterday as I've finally had a day off I've decided to start putting it together but than I've realizad that I have not enough tubes to build this frame.. it would be a problem for me when I had my old job... I'd just ordered some more tubes and would start building later. But on the new job I have to travel a lot so I have to use all the spare time I have building if I want to finish it before the deadline. That's why I've decided to change the project.

So the project now is a cargo bike. I posted this design before.

It will be a 20" well in the front and a 26" rear wheel. A rack for a beer keg in the front and some kind of a case for beer bottles on the rear. And so it begins

Cut the tubes

Done some brazing

Started mittering

Put it on the jig

And for now it's all I have.

Now it will be a two weeks break that I'll have to spend on job trip.
Next step will be building rear triangle and the fork.

I looked at your drawing and wondered if that was a beer keg on the front. Sure enough a beer keg!

A pony keg or full size keg? I think if it turns with the forks it might be too heavy. But if the rack is mounted to the frame, like a Cycletruck, it might work.

I'm thinking I terms of an old keg that I could cut and put beer bottles and ice.

Love this idea! Repurposing a beer keg to haul beer bottles and ice! Right on, Rat on!

I like your cargo sketch.
The frame layout is coming together.

My trip was shortened to one week so I've managed to get some progress done.

So. I'm back home and have some spare time to work on this build.

The finish line seems closer now. I've ordered parts for thus bike so now I have to wait and search for an empty beer keg so I proceed with the front rack

good looking frame and fork !!

Got my beer keg yesterday and managed to clean the whole frame.
Now it's time to make a rack.
