Truly awesome build, I love tadpoles trikes, can't wait to see it finished!

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I'm also thinking sheet metal skirt/coat guards, so I'll need to figure some stuff out.

Yes, removing the paint, brushed metal. And fitted better

Ok, I'm second guessing the fenders, talk me in to keeping them lol

Little progress, got a chain on so I got to ride it a little, being 6'3" makes it an interesting ride for sure. I did some work on getting the fenders to fit with the 26" wheels, and inserted a star nut so the front fender can be mounted

Yeah, monotone grey/silver metal surfaces and clay/brown color for the rubber/leather surfaces. The frame is going to keep the patina it has now, no polishing.

Moved the bars under the top of the tree and got the front disc wheel on And fitted a couple parts for mock up And another part to arrive

Quick mock up to check fitment and fork length

Couple more parts

Thank you all for the kind words First new part to arrive :aggressive:

Great name, thank you for the suggestion!

Decided on a crankset

I decided on a triple tree fork :wink1:

Yes, it has a traditional clamp, although it currently has a crack in the sleeve.

Going through my parts and tossing around some ideas

This is a 1935 Wards Hathorne Duralium "Window lug" frame. I have a few ideas kicking around, so we'll see which direction it takes, but here's the beginning.

You should, a friend of mine is building one too.

^^^^nice he's local, I'll have to chat with him! Thanks everyone, I've been getting a lot of attention when I ride it as well. The most common question is "do you make these to sell" while trying to angle to buy mine lol
