The FluoroBeast.... it's AH-LYYYYYYYYYYVE! (again)
Well, after languishing on a hook for the better part of a year since I got my MASI (meh, it should've have broken its rear gear cable in disgust), the Fluorobeast is on the roads again. New gear cable - brakes adjusted, some stem customisation and adjustment, and we now have a new transport vehicle.
BoBike mini sourced from eBay (finally... only been after one for a decent price for 18 mths!) Needed a quill (or quill-like) stem so hence why I've kept this bike. (OK, and also coz I'd cry if I lost it).
The idea is that when Thing1 gets her next bike (pedaled), I can ride with Thing2 in this. I'm also planning on getting a TrailGator, to increase our options/distance - the CargoBike is getting pretty heavy with both of them in it

I haven't looked at adapter - and there's also a A-HEAD (I think that's the modern one?) stem mount I believe. But meh. The new bike is a 3 spd hub. Having the full 21 gears is handy for the load. Esp once the trailgator arrives. ( a few months, at least, before I have to think about that).

Tried a quill adapter? Relatively easy to source at most LBS's, although not sure of it's weight-bearing capacity.
The FB is nice (working) example of early to mid 90's MTB frame-sorta-commuter-workhorse-bike that used to be as common as glossy magazines all over inner Melbourne.
