Second Hand Madsen Cargo Bike for Sale

We have decided that 3 Cargo bikes is just two too many and are selling our Madsen Cargo Bike.

It's the 2010 model. It comes with the 2 seat bench and 2 seatbelts. It's done less than 200 miles, so is pretty much as new. It's had the new stand feet and bolts fitted. We've made the following upgrades:

Pedals replaced with Pedalite pedals containing LEDs driven by pedal movement.
Tyres replaced with Marathon Plus
Saddle replaced with Brooks B67
Added Twin Reelight RL500s at the front and Reelight RL500 with 2 magnet sets at the back (plus the extra RL500 we nicked the magnets from included)
Basil detachable shopping basket

You are welcome to take the OEM pedals, saddle and tyres. Additionally, it will come with a spare set of brake cables, gear cables and disc pads, a spare headtube badge, and a little Madsen branded mint box that came with the bike.

Additionally, we've fitted a Christiania 3-window hood. This was done by fabricating mounting points and using bakfiets.nl fittings. This solves the problem of waiting for Madsen's vapourware hood to materialise. If I do say so myself, we've done a brilliant job.


If you want to see more pics of the Madsen in use, the Madsen Cycles flickr pool is nice.

Including delivery, it cost us £1600. I am asking for £1100 including the hood (Cost £150 - been out in the rain once).

Alternatively, we'd accept £1000 without the hood, and £875 if you don't want the lights, led pedals, brooks saddle, or basil basket. I'd put the standard pedals, tyres and saddle back on. The bike is located in Cambridge.
