Re: rugrat ride along

kept all the original components were possible and even used a hope rear rim for luck. had a lot of fun building it and some design set backs that had to be overcome. its a lot of fun to ride and the trail-a-bike tows great used the new(?) training wheel design that flex with the terrain and can be raised and lowered relatively easily. when I was taking the pictures we attracted a group of lookers which was way cool!! LOL and had many questions about it. the Frame on the bike is a 1980 Nishiki that was made by Giant for Nishiki.


What do ya think?
