You can technically make one bike frame / design change during the build off, so, and especially since you documented this build during the BO on this page, I'd say you could go for it. Powers that be? Others?

I don't need to push boundaries. I am thinking my docking idea could work. I have had to tow bicycles home from events before when they failed halfway through a ride. This tandem was nicknamed "TowMater" after that October day in 2013
I couldn't understand why it was getting harder and harder to pedal the closer I got to the end of the ride. The fender started rubbing on the rear tire after about a mile

Time to quit stalling and start the side car with what I have here. this rack is rated for 500 pounds so I need to stop worrying about and get to the point it is a three wheeled roller. i used the rest of it on this thing and is solid enough
I might have to move the Jetta so I can get in and out of this gate though
I am just a little iffy about my choices of 20" wheels here. The problem I had with the original wheel on the Beiwagenmaschine was scrubbing in tight turn and some of the spokes were pulled out eventually. I finally found a wheel with a heavier guage and it solved that problem. I guess it took a year at least to torch the first one. So like I said quit worrying and start working

Plus just dawned on me I can probably build in a toe adjustment this time. I was having to hammer the frame to adjust the alignment on the first one and the way I am mounting the wheel I can always just cut it completely off later
I just need some duct tape, a paperclip and some chewing gum

Do I really need this tubing? Maybe. Schwinn has the best tubing. Shame I don't have a ten speed or something here. There are literally ten million of these somewhere.
I am also going to need a curb couch. I might actually have to leave the house for something to finish this. Kate will kill me if I cut up the couches again. She actually likes these new ones
I just drove through my entire neighborhood and and half Rowlett looking for a couch on the curb to skin the sidecarrier and remembered Kate hates this chair and it's leather
I hate this part. The wait where do I actually want this part. I doesn't even matter until I have an adult sitting in here
Whatever. That should put most of the passengers heavy parts over the rear tire. I can always sort out where the seat actually has to be after
These bricks are a little too tall but I'll find something out here
I have everything I probably need to finish a rigid sidecar but I just figured out a way to attach it so it tilts and steers the carrier wheel into my turn. The problem is I built it so low to the ground, the bicycle, I probably don't have room
it would mean adding some steel to the drop loop and I don't want to do that so I'll just draw it on the chalkboard and save it for something else
I just spent whatever got this all perfect level and lined up them when I leaned over with the torch I hit the cart with my knee and it went flying.
One more brace and it's solid
Frame is done. Now just make it pretty part. This one is super solid
Muah ha ha ha ha ha ah ha ha ah
