Gonna Build A Trike, 24" or 26" ???

[Carbon]

So, theres a seller on the bay that has a trike single speed conversion kit, wanting to turn a 50's straight bar 26" cruiser into a 3-wheeler but can't decide if a 24" or 26" for the rear wheels would look cooler? Anyone done this? Would love to see pics 8)

That's pretty cool. I picked up a Western Flyer trike this weekend that I plan to use to do something similar.

Gonna look awesome with a straight bar frame, sure wish I could make it look like this,... :shock:

The 24" kit has a three-speed set-up on it. I think that would be the way to go. Rake yer head tube, OCC forks, Thick Bricks in the rear . . . COOL! 8)

Get some OCC rear rims and you can put Harley 16" tires on them. That's what I'm planning on doing.

Carbon do 24 rear 26 front will give the stance and look of the motor cycle photo.
We did the Etrike in 20 rear 26 front.

Check out my Fugsley build, but also about five or six other builds on RRB where people are putting 16" motorcycle tires on OCC rear rims.

For an adult sized trike, 24x3 rear, and 26x2.125 front is a good starting point. And, if you're looking for that motorcycle look, you may want to start with a different frame.

it is your trike, , but 24 rear and 26 front is nice,
