We are selling our lovely Circe Morpheus!
The Morpheus is a remarkable bike – cargo bike, child carrier, and (with a few extra parts) recumbent tandem. This one is six years old and we've used it for local fun journeys, the school run, and occasionally further afield. Junior's first journeys in it were at just six months old and it's stayed with him as he's grown; our school run is three hilly miles each way and it’s coped admirably.
The front-mounted child seat directly faces the adult, so you can chat while you ride. It currently has a Bobike Maxi fitted (fine for kids up to six), but for little ones, you can use a Maxi Cosi with a Steco Baby Mee mount which provides a cushioned, secure environment for babies and toddlers.
You can take the child seat off and use it to carry cargo, either with the half-rack or a full-length rack (both included). I’ve carried Christmas trees on the full rack.
It was built up by the legendary Tony Harrison in Long Hanborough. The groupset is Shimano Alfine 11 - reliable hub gears which you can ride up hills! - with Avid BB7 disc brakes. Wheels are by Radsport Erdmann in Germany and the tyres are bulletproof Marathon Pluses. Pedals are reversible normal/SPD for a bit of extra help on the hills (but you could put normal ones on if you like). Ursus Jumbo two-leg stand. There’s a rear rack too for luggage, or potentially a second child seat.
A brand new Morpheus to equivalent spec ('Brut 11') would be £3650… we’re asking £1500 for ours. We’d love to see it go to a good home.
We’re in Charlbury – just outside Oxford and with direct trains to Oxford/London/Worcester. Happy to answer any questions.
