I ordered the tubes and rimstrips I need for my build today, could not find 2.4" suitable tubes here locally for a reasonable price, already have the wheels and tires, tried pumping them up with normal 2" width tubes and they only lasted a minute... Will post up pics when they are here...

Fat 2.4" Odyssey Chase Hawk Signature whitewalls...
Also the most I have ever spent on bike tires, but they were actually cheaper than I thought they would be...

I think I saw them on Amazon before and was going to buy one for another project.

I actually ended up getting them from a local bike shop, not even the one I go to most, one of the more expensive/high end ones. I saw them for $45-50 each on eBay and online, went in there and they had them on the wall for $70 a pair!
SCORE!

The reason you may not have seen them before is that they are 20" BMX tires. Size is 20x2.4". Best thing about them though? 100psi rated! Should roll nice for such a fat tire, also good for supporting my excess weight...

I guess now you know they are 20" my secret is out, another Minivelo in the works! I am addicted to these crazy things!

I'm thinking Luke is inspired by this one...

Throw in a bit of this and you are getting pretty close:

Here is an early mock up:

Things have changed a bit since this one though, got to keep some secrets...

Here's a few I won't be doing. https://www.google.com/search?q=cra...0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1455&bih=714&dpr=1.1#imgdii=_

Looks cool, love the idea...

 

[dracothered]

Found this on the web and almost makes me want to change my mind about what I want to build in BONINE. I've been throwing around the idea of building a reverse trike for a while now.

I have a name but I don't know if I like it... :banghead:

Seen a few trikes I would build, but cant seem to find a bolt on trike rear end in my area to use.

I might build something like this in order to have a place to sit and think about what to build.

That's what I'd call my office chair.

...or books on wheels

I'm not sure I can read and ride at the same time, so I guess I have to flush this idea.
