I was thinking that I would try to engineer a way to use the forks on an older frame for an adult muscle bike feel.

Im building this OCC chrome trike, used a rearend from a 1950s Sears chain drive trike, got most of it done just need to mount the fenders and rear deck/step, blast and paint. Its a complete bolt on , no mods to the frame. Sulley

That OCC really turned out slick!!
 
Thanks guys, i did a little more to it yesterday. I got these rear steps for a Schwinn roadster tricycle and i boxed in the rear end. I also moved the seat back some by putting another seat post on the front of the seat pan. Gives me a little more room to ride. Sulley

Here is the chopper I called Mantis. Sold this one about ten months ago. It was built using various frames and forks. Two sets of forks hold the rear wheel. Most of it was bolted together with only a small bit of welding done near the bottom bracket. I don't weld so have to get it done.

Made from a Varsity, a girl's Suburban and a Fair Lady. The fork has three layers of tubing in the extension. All butt joints are internally sleeved.
