My newest project.

Got one of those from Western Auto before they closed. Was called a Yerf Dog I think. Got the little trailer that hooks up to it also. Fixed it up for my little girl.

Thanks for the info! I found it out by the dumpster at my apartment complex. The only markings on it are "Made In China" on the side of the fork, so I didn't really know where to start in trying to determine the manufacturer.

I will post some pics of it after the repaint. It was originally red.

Thanks for the info, guys! I was originally going to fix it up for my daughter, but after goofing around on it, I decided to fix it up for myself so I can cruise around car shows this summer. :mrgreen:

Hey Junker Jim. Here is my daughters trike we where talking about.

I had flipped bars board-track style but after reading this thread I tried out some mid-rise bars and I'm not going back. Much more comfortable and I like the look.

 

[Turtlesixfour]

Really like the tank and front fender on your bike!

Thanks Jim. Took the whole thing apart before I repainted it. It was a learning experience but I had fun. She has probably rode it all of 3 or 4 times though. May have to hook it up for me to ride although I am 5'10" @ 200 lbs. Why not?

Love those swept back apes and grips! Am looking for some of the repop Schwinn Phantom grips but everyone wants an arm and a leg in shipping cost!
