Here's what I think I have, 1970's Schwinn Breeze with a Holdsworth Trike Conversion Kit. It's going to be a Trike Beach Cruiser for my wife. But before I get into this, I was hoping someone could shed some light on it for me.
Hsean said:I think the trick kit is missing parts, be sure to brace it by the seat stays. I have one kinda like that but mine has a frame that holds a wooden bycket with fenders that goes to seat tube, I can't imagin it staying ridable for long how that is, then again i've never tried
Hsean said:If you want I could take a pic of my trike's drive system, may give you an idea on how to put your 3 speed in, mines a single speed but if I wanted to i'd be able to make it a 3 speed by welding a ring to the other half of the hub.

Interesting that the axle is mounted offset to the right side instead of both mounts being inside or outsite. Suspension would be really easy on this, and if you gave it the ability to freely cycle up and down your could put an air shock on it and slam it.
The book that came with my trike shows the option of different hubs mounted into the frame drop outs with a smaller chain running to the axle, that setup gives you unlimited possibilities if you can mount the extra gear on the central hub. If you want the central hub to be a coaster you need a fixed rear axle gear though.
