The Fr8 comes in two styles, the Cross which is effectively a 61 cm frame (huge dudes and dudettes need only apply) and the Uni which is effectively a 49 cm frame, which fist individuals up to 6'3" tall.. Both have extra-long rear carriers which will hold two GMG911 child seats and both also allow the mounting of a third child seat on the frame in front of the rider. Both will also accomodate a Bobike Mini seat.

Chicago staff member Paul Fitz says of the versatile Fr8Uni, "this is a bike even Chuck Norris would ride."

Designed by Henry Cutler of Workcycles and built in Holland, this is the ultimate utility bike. We are thrilled to have them in-house. Henry has taken the classic transport bike and smartened it up to carry more and more easily, than most anything weve seen.
