The strongest and best handling transport bicycle I have ridden. Worked great in London when I brought one over last year. (see http://www.bakfiets-en-meer.nl/2009/09/09/workcycles-fr8s-invade-london/)
I agree with Nhatt about the Pashleys; they look ok but theyr'e cheap for a reason. We were regularly fettling the Oxford University's fleet of Prontos when I worked at www.ocw.coop
People..if you spend the money and get a decent bike that will work for you then you'll reap the rewards. Quality and reliability are the most important considerations when buying/building cargo bikes. This guy in Cardiff has started a courier service using one of these FR8's with a massive rack. 250kg (incl rider) is no problem for this bike! (http://twitter.com/Big_Blue_Bike)
