new trike project

[spencerroberts242]

I found this frame in the garbage and figured it was worth a shot. I know i need rims, as they are all shot (any cheap thoughts are welcome). The springer fork is just a spare i had hanging around. I was just wondering if anyone has seen this frame before or had and ideas. i am thinking a jockey shifter/handbrake combo, and a cool basket. thanks

Definitely a different frame than I have ever seen. WIll be watching to see what you end up with for wheels. Lots of wheel sets on Ebay and Amazon, but never sets of THREE. What will you do to drive the rear wheel? I've got an adapted Schwinn I need to get cracking on sometime soon and still am looking for ideas on wheels myself.

Never saw a trike like that one, but it's interesting. Your best bet for fixing your wheel dilemma might be to save the original hubs and re-lace them to rims that are more to your liking. Those rear hubs are often unique to each trike style and not so easily substituted. That's the direction I'd be thinking.
