    Step-Thru inspiration

    A few I captured at OBC 2024. Got sidetracked that day and didn't get pics of them all.

    That is one cool tandem. Love it! 💙 💙 A mixte is a step thru, not sure why a double would be considered any different. Neither front nor back have a top bar. Sweet bike!

    Thank you @Shrunken_Head_Pedaler !!! The subtle light from the EL wire is unique. Not sure why I've never tried it on a bike before. And the bike lights on the front light up the road a bit. The trike is perfect for those night rides in downtown Las Vegas. It has a bell on the left handle...

    As I started this buildoff I wasn't sure where it would end up, and formulated the bike buildup ideas along the way. Had a late start and a bit of distractions and challenges along the way. My wife wanted me to build her a trike so that she can go with us on our Sunday morning rides when she...

Then circle back through the list a few times and vote for additional favorite bikes in different custom bikes's categories, muscle, rusty, BMX, skinny, road, stretch, custom, just frigging cool, etc. If...

    👍 I just know it smelled like smoke and not hardwood for brisket when I got up yesterday. Wind blew it all away and changed directions today. On the paint, I just added more layers of the blue metalcast to the fre and then clear purple. The rear end frame got blue chrome, then blue metalcast...

    It does sound different rolling down the road. Thanks Captain. I wish I could have got more pictures with it, but didn't want to get too close to. They can be a bit agressive when bothered or you get too close.. Have this one that I cropped for the front wheel as well. Slightly different...

    They are great machines. Mine cost $25. I bought it when i was fourteen. It had a broken transmission casing from throwing a chain. Dad had a couple extra parts engines in the barn that needed rebuilds, so I got a crash course in how to fix it. Had to replace the kick start gear about 20...

    My friend's brother got a 200X the month they came out. That was the coolest three wheeler we'd ever seen. I was a dirt bike guy, with my old XL250, but sure envied that three wheeler. At least until any hill climbing came into the picture. Then loved the bike over the 3-wheeler. I still...

    Details. 7ft4in from tip of tire to tire Some WellGo Square bear traps. ( came off of that blue bike. ) Put a y on the lights, covered the lead coming out and mounted the battery pack so they won't fall off. Chain is blue and brown. Always right sized if it wears of the points on the...

    I had no idea for sure either. Glad for the cool. 👍 I was given two requirements on this build. 3 wheels It has to look cool, not like a granny trike. So far, I think I have met the original requirements. Just today she added one to them. It has to stop well. It stopped in 10 ft on the...
