Ordering direct from Carradice was also great for me. Price was
lower, available inventory was the best available.

Oh, and as for wheels, am becoming a convert to the Salsa Delgado rim
in 700C. My LBS (Jim Thill) has built some awfully nice wheels for me
with those hoops. Yes, the other suggestions are still good, but will
probably stick with Salsa for now.
I will look into the Delgado. The guys at Hiawatha

The seat rack is Topeak. The frame has six taps to mount the topeak
rack.
The handling is a fine, with him on it, it rides like a heavy bike,
but very stable.

The reviews I have read of the Hebie are that it works very well

They call it ChuckWagon, still not a regular production frame. The
idea is to build a cargo/kid hauling bike but with some custom
features (color/rack/misc stuff)
It is not based on Xtracycle standard in terms of accessory, but they
are thinking about it. I think it is a good idea as well.

Ran across this on flickr today. It seems like the right sort of stuff
to have in an owners manual these days:

His PBH is 86, which if I remember correctly puts him on a 59-60 Bleriot
