Hello, I'm Brian and I'm starting a trike project.
Here are my goals:
1. Make a cool bike I can really ride. (reliable).
2. Make it unique.
3. Add power (electric assist).
4. Under $100 total investment.
5. Seat for kids.
6. space for a small cooler.
7. trailer hitch to pull Burley trailer.
I'm starting with a trike that was taken out of service at the Chrysler Warren Truck Assembly Plant. It was used by an electrician and has logged at least 956 miles in the plant (there's an odometer). It came with a heavy steel toolbox added to the Sears & Roebuck women's frame. I got the 1930 or 40's Hawthorne 26" frame from a guy on the Detroit Craigslist. That's about it, I've disassembled everything and started sanding/cleaning. what do you think? Anyone need a skip tooth sprocket and crank?
this is the link I'm using to track the project. I suck at posting photos on in my posts...
