Changed my website and had to reattach the images, possibility there are more than originally. Troy

Here are close ups of how dad keyed the standard hubs. He mentioned the bearing race was so hard he ended up notching it with a chainsaw sharpening bit in a dremel.

I just remembered to easily ride through grass and up hills he had to change the other gearing. The two chains in the rear are to all 22 tooth, the front sprocket is 39 tooth, the rear is a 24. Steep inclines are a workout, but still achievable.

Just talked to dad for more information. The 3 speed hub has a 22 tooth front mult sprocket crank style cog drilled and screwed to each side of the hub where the spokes used to mount (with modification, front has a larger hole). The diff is two freewheels keyed to the axles and held on with a...

Updated below :mrgreen:

It is now complete! Updated in the first post. Clear Lexan over the chain drive.

Dad built it himself using an English Wheel and a Bead Roller. I believe he said most of the time was spent forming the seat, which is designed with lumbar support built in.

on the left of the dam is the fish stairs. :wink:

Sure you can use it. The chain flame was created several years ago, I had a mean looking face in the center where I placed a sprocket for you. Figured better to have it used than never seen at all. PM your email address. Troy

I agree. I've had ideas and collected parts for years, but never found the time to build them. Currently trying to get a new business started, but hoping the next build off deadline will push me to get something done. :D Troy

With an automotive background I've often wondered what certain cars would look like as bicycles. I've searched for some time and only found a few, such as the Ferrari. I came up with this idea to just start picking cars and posting my rendition in hopes of inspiring others to build their...

No real flex, it has the stainless bar bridge across the bottom which took care of the majority. The weak point was where the rear bolts to the frame, extra bracing was put there too.

Thank You, hopefully I can get my work on a bike soon. :mrgreen:

Thank You! He's retired, built it for himself to ride while vacationing over the winter. First bike he's built since my bmx race bike in the early 80's. He used to build streetrods.

Thanks Jason, He had also made some chain tensioners on the lathe, but didn't need them.

EDIT 6/26/2018: I had to reattach all of the photos, so chances are there are additional images compared to the original post. This is a build my Dad did over the last few weeks, he is not a member here or any forum... I knew he had purchased a rusty old trike but didn't realize what he had in...

The brick sculpting is amazing, I've never seen that before. I too do signs and started in the 80's, but was able to keep up with the computer age. Simple stickers is what pays the bills, but automotive painting has been my specialty for nearly 30 years. I also design custom paint for...

Sunlite Crushers are perfect for one of my projects, thanks!

Like DueceWheeler, I too am a photographer. The person taking the image owns the copyright, if you have your info on your camera it would include all of it in the EXIF data. EXIF data would normally have your information with the photo unless you 'save for web', which will erase it. Your...
