Looks are not what this bike is about though, first and foremost it's a beast of burden. It's handsome too, with a glossy chestnut brown paint job and a tasty looking slab of wooden deck covering the load bay. It's a pretty big beast and you'll need a decent amount of space to keep it in. The first thing that strikes you about this bike is the length. And an excellent family estate it is too. If you think of the Big Dummy as a Transit, the Mundo as a pickup truck and the Ute as a family estate you'll be on the right lines. The Dummy and Mundo are probably better suited to shifting big loads than the Ute, but don't assume that Ute is merely a fashion item. Current players on the scene are the Surly Big Dummy, the Yuba Mundo and Kona's Ute, with the Extracycle conversion kit as the joker in the pack. More people want an alternative to their cars and, dare I say it, bikie types might want something more practical than another urban fixer. Load bikes are the new rock'n'roll apparently.
