If I won the lottery, this is what I’d do
It would probably be overkill to have a low-trail fork and an extended rear triangle so i could put both a porteur rack and xtracycle-style panniers on the thing. But, hey, if I won the lottery I’d have money to burn and what better to burn it on?

Oh yes, I know about (and lust after) them. This drawing is more of a shorttail than a longtail; it’s about 20cm shorter than an xtracycle compatable one (to keep the center of gravity closer to the rear wheel) and would need to have me sew up a pair of custom panniers instead of using xtracycle saddlebags.

Ed’s Bikes/La Suprema in Tucson has done some longtails that look a lot like this: http://www.edsbikes.us/bikes.htm (scroll down to Heavy Haulers).
