Fly by Night

[Houndog]

I have a RUSH poster in my living room ....I love that band....You guys ever heard of Porcupine Tree? Another great prog band..

[Peatbog]

That is a really cool looking trike.

[Houndog]

I'm gonna build a fishing trike..

If you actuate the rear axle you may want to consider power seat motors. some have a very long screw on them for long distance actuation. You certainly got my attention with that! If you go air you may want to read up on CO2. If you've done paintball then you've got a head start.

well, just now getting around to posting and working on this ride..we have been super busy at the shop so no time to work on this..

I did manage to do a couple of things..first for the basics..cut off the seat tube:

and made a choice on bars..25" tall baby..


I also decided to do away with the brake bridge:

I cut it out and I had this sprocket lying around..the extra holes I have in mind for a trick little add-on:

welded in place..more to come on this deal:

also decided on a fork..picked this up today at our swap meet..I think it looks the part:

and here he is so far..not much; but getting there. I have a few ideas now so I'm gonna run with them..hope to post more soon..MORE TO COME!!!

The Smoopster never dissapoints!!
I want to see a Trike Off between this and Schwindian!

Perhaps a Molson Canadian Beer Tap Handle for a shifter? Great looking trike...I will be watching this one!

We could race em! Smoop, that trike of yours is looking really good. Nice choice of parts.

You should look into finding a star sprocket, like on a Huffy... paint it red. "Hold the red star proudly high in hand." It's great to see so many Rush fans!

[mitchelangelo]

gotta love the apes. They make it soo ratty awesome!

[Smoopy's]

finding time to work on this thing has become tough; but we are now done with the show season at the shop so I can focus on building this trike to how I want it..I did decided on a seat change which I think if I can make it work will be cool..here's the seat I picked...MORE to COME!!

I am not worthy!!!

All hail to the seat king!!!!!!

Sweet 'King and Queen' seat!

It should work quite nicely on a trike.

Build on brother!

Cheers,
