I rode my old rider bike in to work tonight. What I'm going to do it just mock up my forks on my trike to see what it looks like with the big wheels on it it's got 700cs on ot at the moment so there bigger then the wheels I'm going to use on the trike. It's just to see how it sits.

I'm going to try and get the head set al nice and plum tonight so I can take it home tomorrow night . I finished painting my wheels today I forgot to get some pics I will get some tomorrow wen I get home

Tonight I'm going to try and make my seat mounting bracket as well so if everything goes to plan I can mount it on tomorrow night wen she's at home. ;D

You should be able to remove much of that twist in the frame using some hammer mechanics....

This is what I had planed for getting the twist out 1 of 2 ways
1 I'm going to heat the frame red got and just move it a little it and untwist it
2 car one of my welds and twist the head tube and reweld the frame

One way I will do it lol

The front will be about 3/4 inches lower as I'm using a smaller wheel and making the forks shorter

My baby's coming home tomorrow she's in the car now :D

I'm going to make my little truck bed / tool box.
It's going to be 26"x7"x7" flat bed coming out the back of my frame sitting inside my back wheels should look good

Any ideas about how to make new soft wood look old ????

The bomber seat is pretty freakin cool. You definitely have the triike to make it work.
