Full build costs less than monopole
Hopefully the Nano’s 125 kg max rating doesn’t include the weight of the bike itself.
Unrelated, a very cute video of a kid riding that cargo balance bike

Man, I love that. Can you actually buy Omniums in the US right now?
Not sure
I believe distro was in chicago
omniumcargo.us shows this
seems like you can still enter a US address though. and weirdly it made the CXC that’s on sale about 400 euro cheaper once i entered my address

That bike has to handle a lot higher max load, in the EU they basically carry over the lowest validated/tested capacity of the weakest component and call it a day.
If my skinny-ass 1" steerer 700c cross bike can carry my heavy ass without issue for 15 years, then a decent hand-built 20" wheelset on that bike should be even better. It just comes down to the spoke number and choice, right?
I eventually want to replace my Croix de Fer with a small footprint cargo bike that isolates the load from steering, and I think that might be the one. I’ll look circus-bear stupid, but it’ll be so fun.

Dang, that is an awesomely great feature. Even with normal basket-bikes the width of a big 'ol Wald can get annoying, not just for storing bikes but for carrying next to others on a car rack etc.

A buddy in Santa Fe just did this
I’ve been thinking about this or similar for a while
There are some optimizations I would add: stiffer springs and remote lockout
@Jacobell you should meet this person
