    UNLIMITED Three's a Crowd (Pleaser).

    Was thinking maybe Mount it on a pole or post and make a sign to fit inside the frame openings and go so far as to add blades to a pair of wheels so they spin on breezy days. Damn it! Another project. Lol.

    That's a 24" 1953 Hawthorne. Rear stays are bent and one side caved in on the inside lower stays. The center bar has been booger welded back onto the post tube. Bothe the seatpost and stem are rusted in place and forks are bent a bit back. I'm keeping the fenders, crank and both hubs. A.thirs of...

    I build bike for kids in town that don't have one or need an upgrade for free. If I can I have them help fix a bike up so they learn a little bit. Figure if they can fix it they may take better care of it. I get a couple calls for "roadside assistance" when one gets a flat or something. Just...

    "Building a welding JIG first" - design process and thoughts

    That's very impressive. And all I'm attempting is to make something a bit bigger and with more style then this as a reference frame. Infact I just sat down from gathering up some old conduit and PVC pipes and some scrap flat bars to put together a mock-up of what I want to do before I start...

    Sometimes I wish I didn't have as much space as I do. The good thing here is it will get a lot more organized when I start putting stuff away and I'll be adding to my "Free stuff" pile so others that need kt can have it. And I'm finding a lot of Item's I'll be posting for sale at very reasonable...

    "Building a welding JIG first" - design process and thoughts

    All of it, just Awesome. I'll be sitting down the next few days scratching ideas for a trike frame. So id love to see some of your buddies work. That complete twin tube frame made me so happy I think I peed a little. I'll be checking out the links all week and following this closely, with great...

    Pulled some potential donors from one of the parts sheds. Next is pulling actual potential parts. This is just part from 1 of 2 sheds and a storeroom. If I have the time I'm going to make a couple different versions. See "OUT OF HAND"!! A few days before I joined last June, all I owned the...

    Ready for powder

    Perfect timing coming across this post. The mailman just delivered this 1970 Western Flyer and it has the same issue and possibly 1 or 2 other issues. 1st thought was to lay it down and jump up and down on it.

    I had originally been thinking "TRI as I Might" maybe when it's done I'll post up a few suggested names and put them to a vote and I'll have some custom decals and a head badge (decal as well). made for it with it's new name. Speaking of that, who here makes decals? I want some made for my...

    Same, I've actually got 3 of those guards, but not the original. One off an older Hiawatha, another off a Murray and one from a Huffy.

    I was just underneath my cub cadet riding mower to pull the deck to remove and replace a bent guide brace and the rear differential looks like I could make work on this trike. I may be looking for a new mower next week. Lol.

    Just ordered a welder, so it's on now. Looking at some seat options. Here are a few I'm considering. Last one may not be practical. I'd have to add weight to the front end if I have a second person up and above the Axel or behind. But it would look sweet.

    I'm gonna smush it down so it stands shorter. I'm not going to need the seat post tube so that will be trimmed down and I want to move the bottom bracket forward. The more I look at this I'm most likely going to use it as a template and fabricate a whole new frame from mostly cut up and rewelded...

    WANTED 72h fat tire hubs

    Before I hit eBay or Amazon thought I'd check here. Looking for a pair of 72h fat tire hubs hollow if possible. Need them for rear trike 3/4" axles. They are going to be through bolted to the axel ends so no bearing or race needed. Color not a factor. Thanks Picture from the web.

    Going to be brushing up on my welding. Thinking I'm going to cut the front off from the seat post tube forward and graft the front half of a men's late 60's Hiawatha frame to it but sorta make it shorter and a bit longer with a bit more rake on the head tube. The plan is wider, lower longer and...

    Decided to just switch to the unlimited side now, I can already see this getting a bit out of hand. Lol.

    Sears & Roebuck Bike

    My trike is a 1974-1976ish Sears and Roebuck Free Spirit Ted Williams Jr edition bike.

    Trike rear end.

    What's the diameter of that Axel? If it's 3/4" in the middle section I have a rear differential you could splice in. I'm getting a new one that I can use with a big electric or gas motor if I choose down the line.
