The build
What defines the project.
- Bespoke steel frame
- Smaller front wheel for a low loading height
- Open platform fixed to the frame
- Compact overall length
Custom frame
Short John raw
A compact custom frame with a smaller front wheel, frame-mounted front platform and an intentionally visible raw finish.
The story
From the brief to the bike.
On the Short John, the load does not sit in front of the handlebars. It sits low and close to the frame above the small front wheel. This keeps the bike short while making the platform a fixed part of the frame.
Views & details
The result
Not an off-the-shelf bike.
A short, agile transport bike with a load platform that belongs structurally to the frame.
