Cargo Bike Frames

[SG49]

Hi All,

Been seeing these types of bikes on the market these days, similar to the omnium ones:

I am wondering if anybody has leads on these style frames!

Let me know what y'all think!

I'd be very keen to know if anyone has found a supplier who can make these sort of frames too...

Found this a few days ago and meant to ask if anyone has experience.

They've been around for a long time. They make custom frames under the XACD brand and also do OEM work for several mid-range Ti brands that sell frames in the ~3k USD range. Historically, theyve been a quite a bit more expensive than Waltly (and harder to deal with), so they are less popular.

These days the prices should be closer, but the pricing model is really different. They will give you a lot of options to choose from, and you pay for each one vs. having preset price points. Overall, it's a lot less consumer-friendly.

@Sakizashi
Thanks for your onsight on ti-bikes/XACD.
I think I've read everything here in the forum on titanium frame manufacturers, without having seen a direct comparison with the pros and cons between about dealing with the different firms.
If you know the other manufacturers and could give a further comparison, that'd be fantastic!
