So after coming home from the Midwest Bicycle Swap Meet with a good pile of parts, I thought I might as well do somethin with them. Had this idea runnin through my head. Hopefully I can finish before the deadline. My boy will be out of school in two weeks so he will be able to help.

Re: Schwindian

I smell a trike!

What kind of trike rear is that, never seen one with the bendy mounting bars.
 
Re: Schwindian

I smell something too Yooth. Another entry to deal with. Good luck and ... Get ta Buildin'!! Peace
 
Re: Schwindian

Trikes are cool.
It's great that your boy will get his hands dirty with ya too.
 
Re: Schwindian

Yup. Gonna be a trike. That rear end was custom built from scratch. Used on a different project from years ago. Gonna be some surprises. Updates will be on weekends due to work and no time during the week.
 
Re: Schwindian

I guess I should have bought that trike rear end @ the swap! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Let me know if you need anything from my scrap pile! I was wondering if you were gonna build this year. Tell your son that "mr. pickerman" is watching your build!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Re: Schwindian

8) I like trikes!! I thought about useing a 3 wheeler for my build but switched to another bike I have been collecting parts for. I will be watching this one for sure 8)
 
Re: Schwindian

Keep an eye on this build guys! You never know what Judd will come up with! :mrgreen:
 
Re: Schwindian

Thanks for the confidence Pick! Been watching your build too, looking good so far! I just hope to make a ridable trike before the deadline. Deadlines were never my strong suit. Maybe my son will pick up the slack for me.
 
Re: Schwindian

Yay :!: Another trike to watch :D :D Great name too.
 
Re: Schwindian

Gonna get some work done on it Saturday. Should have an update for you guys by dinner time. Gonna have to make a run to my LBS, still need a few vital parts before assembly can begin. Hoping to get the paint done tomorrow!
 
Re: Schwindian
