  It's not the size you are looking for... ;)

  From reviews I read of the older models:

  "Its aluminium, long wheelbase frame has a heavily sloping top-tube
  for two reasons. When the bike’s fully laden it’s easier to mount and
  dismount, and since there’s only one size available – 18 inches –
  there’s enough clearance for a wide range of riders. The Ute fitted our
  5ft 5in tester just fine, and once the 350mm seatpost was substituted
  for a 400mm one and the 60mm stem for a 100mm, it fitted our 6ft 1in
  tester pretty well too."

  • Train Swindon to London Paddington, 130km
    
  • Xtracycle Paddington to St Pancras, 5km
    
  • Eurostar London St Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord, ≈500km
    
  • Xtracycle Paris Gare du Nord to Paris Gare de Lyon, 5km
    
  • Paris Gare de Lyon to Valence, ≈500km
    
    

  That'd be a 2300km round trip, about 10 hours each way.
  I don't know how much the train is London to Swindon, but Eurostar would be about 100-150€ return, and Paris-Valence by TGV about the same. Plus any extra charges for transporting a tank with pedals. So about the price of the bike again, all in all.

  This a great bargain for someone a bit nearer though.

  This is brilliant, I'd love it as a kids-carrier.
  Does the south of France count as a "difficult interchange"...?
