2) The BoB Ibex: (in the url, replace the **** with and in one word without the full stops - d.a.m.n, so you can view the link - it's highly frustrating that the filter system does not allow the link to be posted as a faithful reproduction of the original) http://pedal****it.blogspot.com/2008...x-trailer.html

3) The Aevon Bicycle Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6e0Xu1bTbU

5) The Mayacycle Trailer: http://www.mayacycle.com/

6) The Midget Tailrat Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVV8K2vfpIg

And the best tandam axle trailer of them all - this is the best of the best of the conventional style trailers with a special wheelset of 4 wheels and independant suspension: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgTSEhYn14w
There are other conventional trailers like the Burley range, that will need to be adapted in some way if you want to carry heavy cargo, but they do have a designated cargo trailer to suit most requirements.

If anyone can find other good designs or alternatives, please post links or photos.

Very nice...

One could easily mount two pillow block bearings with a solid axle on there and turn this into a lightweight, yet heavy duty trailer for a bicycle!

Not to mention the 20% OFF coupon!!!!
