I have started a couple of build off bikes over the years, but have yet to actually post pictures of a completed bike by the deadline... It's been fun anyway, so here we go again! I think I might actually get this one done because I'm on a serious bike building kick lately. I've already buillt three bikes since the build off started, so had I kept a journal on any of them, I'd be pretty much done! For a little closure, I'm including a pic of the last build off bike I started and the three I just completed.
And of course, the hardest part... deciding what to build next... I've got two worthy projects, but this old Schwinn 10 speed is the one Im using. I threw it together to make sure the trike was gonna work. it has a broken tooth on one of the cogs and I can't get it apart, but it seems to work fine with the super short chain so I think we're good to go!
I building this one specifically for my dog Tripod, so let's call it the Tripod Trike. I'm pretty happy with most of the parts I tossed on it for the shakedown, so most of the build will be focused on Tripod's accomodations. Poor guy looks like a cat in a box in that tiny wagon, but he prefers the stability of the trike over riding up high on a rear rack like we do now, so he's literally on board.
