Reviving my old thread with an updated / question.

I have read several plans online and have a good idea what i am going to do.
- Wood frame (already have wood from other projects
- 20 inch bike tires ( from local thrift store) and
- Bungee cords to hold loads / Plastic Tub for groceries.

By question is -
I have seen 2 ways of conencting this to the bike...
- off of the seat post
- off of the wheel axel ( or other bold in that area)

Question -
Is one "Better" than the other? I am inclined to go with the Lower attachment point as my trailer will be low profile... But i think the Upper attachment point would actually be easier to build..

Thoughts?

Steve
