> [@dotMR](#): > > …do these exist in 'merica?They’ve always struck me as the Brompton / Bullitt love childSup loves her Brompton but it always felt like a toy to me. Good for multi-modal commuting but, for me at least, the novelty of the fold wore off quickly and it’s just weird parts and twitchiness.But it does handle better with some front load. Does anyone here have experience with a Muli? / Knows any obvious flaws with one? I basically want a compact Bullitt and the Muli seems pretty perfect for my needs. **Advantages:** - It’s super short\*\* - It’s narrow with the bucket folded up - Weight is down low - I prefer the aesthetics of bakfiets/frontloaders **Disadvantages:** - Small wheels =\> maybe rougher ride? - Seems like a pain to source in the USA =\> $$$ \*\* IMO this is one of the biggest advantages of the GSD. It’s short and you can stand it up vertically to fit in a compact spot in your flat. The Muli is one of the shortest front loaders with a relatively large bucket. EDIT: You get quite a bit of platform space with the Muli, considering it’s \<2m long vs the Bullitt at almost 2.5m. Granted, the Bullitt doesn’t have sides so you can carry a much wider load. ![image](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/d/e/de1f992cd6fd33993d16c4e787ffb6b8674fc717.png) ---

Jesus fuck I see why you’re urgent to buy a cargo bike. Dual 406 longjohn feels really nice. Instant acceleration and your dyno light is at full blast at like two mph ---

I believe the front wheel on the Muli is even smaller…it’s a 16"er! The one in the back is a more standard 20" one. ---

16” wheel is a total deal breaker for me. I just ordered this box an canopy setup from Splendid Cycles in Portland because this stuff is just unavailable in Chicago apparently. ![image](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/3/5/35565cd2913b379dd2741ff5b25bec60c6c2f0a6.jpeg) (Just the box and canopy, not the bike. Though I do wish my Bullitt was green or really any color other than white) ---

And it’s far and away the worst spray paint I’ve ever used in any application. Also, I said “I wish my bike was a color other than white”. You’ll note that I didn’t say “I wish I could spend ten hours disassembling my bike, painting it with shitty paint that sucks and then reassembling it only for it to now look worse than before and now it has a mystery creak for some reason.” [Previous page](https://tarck.cc/t/youre-gunna-hurt-yourself-carry-shit-olympics-aka-the-cargo-bike-thread/21665.md?page=153) [Next page](https://tarck.cc/t/youre-gunna-hurt-yourself-carry-shit-olympics-aka-the-cargo-bike-thread/21665.md?page=155)
