Seriously though, 800 smackeroos is pricey for a mule. This kind of
thing will sell when it's less than half that.

I find it a very fair price. I've paid 8 bills without flinching for a
city bike before. That's what my last Nexus bike went for. Considering
the spec and limited run, it seems fair.

I didn't mean it was overpriced but rather overspeced/overbuilt. A
cheaper frame and cheaper parts could still build up a pretty strong
and serviceable mule. I don't think a heavier frame and parts would
detract from that. At, say, $400 per, it might sell in some numbers.

Martha Stewart didn't sell as many pies at $5.00 as she did at ten.

For $400 you can get an Xtracycle with bags and a deck for attaching
to any old MTB or Hybrid you've got kicking around. There's also a
range of accessories available for them which is something the new
all-in-wonders lack unless they're built ito take advantage of that.

The Kona Ute looks like the lightweight among longtails. There's
currently no provision for passenger foot pegs or wide loaders.

The Yuba Mondo is roughly $1000 - $1400.
It's longer and built for heavy duty service. (42 lbs.)
