K so this isn't mine... But I've been assembling it. My neighbor has an old schwinn burnt orange 3 speed 24 inch girls bike that had this trike kit installed on it

and a schwinn Heavy-Duti frame that he wanted it installed on. So I had to raise the mounting tabs so the 26 inch wheels would fit inside the trike frame. And I had to use old pieces of my chains I've had laying around to lengthen the chain. Still need to find fenders that fit... but the trike turned out like this...

I'll post pics of the coaster braked sturmey-archer hubbed 3 speed girls bike after I go pick it up tonight... I'll probably need a new gear shifting cable, since this one was long enough to go over to the wheel on the trike to run the gears, but I think it was well worth it... We'll see. My wife has been wanting a girl's shaped bike again...
 
Yeah it's pretty cool... Although building this into a trike I realized why every commercially made trike I've ever seen was a step-through frame type... they don't lean like a bike does when you get on orr off them...
