There was a thread on here a while ago which featured a cargo bike made from 2 bike frames, tandem style.

My Google Fu is weak this evening, can anyone link me to it?

I hae a couple of spare frames and associated running gear and fancy making something interesting.

Thanks simondbarnes, that's the very thing.

Was it really 6 years ago? 😯

I will ask my Border Collie if he would enjoy the ride on the back of such a cargo bike.
If yes ...

My initial thought was to fix the BB of the rear frame in the rear dropouts of the front frame and then secure the headtube of the rear frame by threading it onto the seat tube of the front frame but, rather inconveniently, the angles and tube lengths don't allow this [s] elegant[/s] bodgetastic method so I shall have to resort to doing it properly 😀

SDB - I have the frames but would need to build up wheels for it.
