One bike disgused as another.
It weighs 55 LBS.
It looks like something a child designed, maybe that's why my wife always tells me I'm 4 ????
I've had several factory built trikes,and this is the only one that doesn't pull to the left. It goes straight and true.
Final pics as soon as I can scout out some locations.

It looks good! My bike build is basically a kids' bike in adult size so I can understand. Maybe it just makes you feel like a kid!!

That's why I started doing all of this. The laws of physics only say I have to grow older, doesn't say anything about growing up.

Love that effect you got on the wheels....rusty old wooded wagon wheels was my first thought! And your tire selection is spot on. Definitely a "big kids" bike! (aren't we all? ) Looks great overall, really impressed. Maybe you can find a rusty merry-go-round or slide at a neglected playground for your photo opp? Nice work!

Cool bike looks like a CwC trike will get the job done for sure !

Sadly and happily the city I live in started tearing down elementary schools the day after school ended, the playgrounds went with them....But they'll all be rebuilt.

It's about as heavy as a tank,so it should get something done.

Like I said it's way to cool.
I was just wondering if a nice old crate would look good on the back.Give it that old wagon look or pick up.

I thought about that for going to get groceries,or maybe a camel back trunk.

I'm glad you like it, it's my first attempt at a build. Gonna try to push the envelope next year.

Or good for a beer run.
You still have time,to find,and make doodads.
A headlight etc.
The bike makes me think instantly of the Model Ford-T

I'll most likely put a box on back of some sort, I tried an old carbide lamp but it didn't look right to me.

You've probably right,but I'll keep you in mind. We'll see what I can do.

Cool trike. I can hear a big bell jingling as you ride up behind me laughing.

I have to be honest, I don't know what you mean.
But I'm glad you like it.

You know, like a little kid on his tricycle ringing the bell and having a blast. Sorry to be cryptic.

 

[Fv2]

Cryptic is cool,just wasn't sure. Had an image of jigsaw in my head,so had to ask.

 

[kim_dude]

yea, another trike!!

 

[Fv2]

yea, another trike!!

The world can always use one,specially on a Saturday night beer run. (Easier to balance)
