Hi, Folks!

I'm an old road bike guy who can no longer ride the drops and have finally decided to build something I can ride until my body refuses to cooperate. I want to build a chopper tricycle so I can still ride when my balance goes away and look a little less dorky than I would on those trikes that scream "Get out of the way! Old Fart coming!!"

I've thought about taking a Crate style bike and mounting a trike conversion on it. I've thought about buying individual components and building something from those. I've also thought about buying a trike used, as a complete unit. I'm undecided at this writing, so any ideas or suggestions that come from the members would really be appreciated!

Thank you for accepting me!

Welcome @LazyDave54 ! There is a Build Off going on right now,might be a good time to start your custom build. Lots of helpful idea sharing and skills tips from fellow builders!

We have a few that have built some cool three wheelers too.
