Howdy all, long time no be here.
My kids had one of those 12 foot round trampolines with the giraffe enclosure cage around the top. We had a bit of a wind storm a while back and it blew across the yard and ended up in the side of my shed

So the top was taken off, the kids used it for a while till the elastic went out of the mat and “springs”. So I pulled it apart, and took everything to the dump except the curved main frame pieces. A week ago I got an idea...

And now we’re here!
Need an idea on colour.
 
Having a bit of trouble here. I've got more photos but I can't get them to load. I've tried to get them off photobucket and all I seem to get is a screen full of code and no image
 
Tossing up some ideas. The spare-parts-pile forks don’t really do it for me, wondering if I should make a set from the same tubing as the rest of the frame. The fender is actually two of them temporarily screwed together. Taillight was laying around the shed.

Went for a test ride Saturday night. Pretty happy. Might need to move the seat forward a bit and/or move the bottom bracket back. Mocked up some new forks today. What do you think?

That came out awesome! We used steel from the same style of trampoline for the roobar on my wifes car and the curved chutes on the electrical cable trays in our house!

As an aside, when I first read the thread title, I was expecting a bike powered by bouncing on a platform about the size of one of those individual trampolines for workout classes.
I can see smoke pouring out of ears at that suggestion.
