During the second COVID Christmas (2021), we were missing the Chaos Communication Congress, so a couple of friends and I decided to finally do something with some old bikes that someone had found in the trash.
We used a 26" MTB frame and a late-'90s BMX fork and front wheel. The whole thing was designed and built in just one week using only the parts and materials we had lying around.
It's been my daily cargo bike ever since.
You can see some photos from the build process in the following pictures.

Μπράβο παιδιά, εξαιρετική δουλειά!
Καλοτάξιδο!
Great stuff!
This is the sort of project I love seeing on here! Beautiful bike!
This is rad. Waaaay better at handling weight than a Crust style fork too.
So nice! I love those bike conversion and I kinda keep that somewhere in my head for one day
How did you make the fork longer to go with the longer steering tube? You just weld a longer tube?
How did you did the paint effect? With a sponge, a brush, or some crumpled paper?
