If Riv built a cargo bike

I think your chainstays are about 18" too short still

I like the idea, but turn it into a real Clem or whatever tricycle with Tryit -2-wheel multispeed cassette drive, rear brake (instead of usual dual-front brakes), long platform for a big but light to-fit wooden box, or Riv-specific bigger-than-Newsboy basket, or bigger-than Large Happysack rear bag. Tricycles make the best load carriers, IME; I mean, they are fun to ride even with heavy rear loads, which don't affect handling the way they do on 2-wheelers.

Thread drift? The three whee bike sure won't if the load between the rear wheels is huge but it will plow. 

I worked in an aluminum mill one summer and used a Worksman industrial tricycle to collect my molten and sheet samples to take to the QC lab. Around the re-roll line the feint trace of mill oil condensed on the floor reduced CoE of Friction such that a hard swing of the bars would result in front wheel slip and understeer. 

Unloaded, it was always fun to bootleg a loop over there when not loaded because I could get the back end out with very judicious steering and power application and actually drift. Management would have frowned, the help did as little caloric consumption as possible on the clock in the heat of the cast house.
