yeah, I'd say anything built like that is going to cost you at least $2k or so.

What I find intriguing is the guy in most of the photos who is dressed like a Hobbit. Can you find hand-made Hobbit attire in Portland as well?

true... in all respect though, I wouldn't expect a purpose-built cargo bike to be light and fast.
