I thought it might be fun to have a thread of all the Trikes in the build off. So please post your trikes here and let's have fun.

Here is mine at the start.

Our own trike thread sounds good to me. A little early so I'm on my phone and haven't figured out how to post photos so I'll get some coming soon. I am fixing to order the same adapters today. Talk to y'all soon.

Nice thread & a neat idea to have all the trikes in one are.

Your build is looking good Rhys, what size wheels will you be running on it?
Thank you :)
I'm running a 22 inch on the front and a 10 inch on the back

I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible and the drive train (axle, adapter, freewheel, hub bearings) are gonna hit me pretty good so I'll be limited on the way I would like actually build it.

Here is my trike I am working on...a 1980 Schwinn Town and Country I was given for Christmas. And no, I am not using the Radio Flyer. ;)
 
Don't you mean UNITE and not UNIT?
:p
 
Here's my starting point. Not entirely sure what all changes I will be making other than the following: seat has to go, apes may go for some more swept back bars, gonna try to cram a tank in there, basket will be replaced with a wooden box with speakers (solar powered hopefully) and growler holsters, and some sort of suicide style shifter for a nexus 3 speed. A spring would be cool too.

How tall are the apes and if you don't use them would you be willing to sell? I may be interested. I was thinking about making my own and going with something ridiculous but if the price is right.
 
10-4. I'd prefer black anyway. Nothing much to update with me. I've been painting and waiting on parts. Hopefully I'll have axle, wheels, tires and crank on and some pics over the weekend. Well maybe one more pic with the broomstick axle. LOL
