[pvwacko]

This build is actually under the thread Tempe Showdown in the build challenges section but I tought I would post a few teaser pictures here and the link to get more people in the loop. AZ Chop Shop and Myself are doing a little build-off for the Tour De Fat in Tempe Arizona October 6th. This is my build for the OHSO brewery in Scottsdale AZ.

What's so big? I'm 6'2 and the trikes owner is 6'4 so the whole thing is big enough for us to ride in comfort.

Not big as in long , they just take up a lot of space compared to a two wheeled bike.
I like that you have your back wheels closer together. nice build.

It's a stock axle believe it or not... Just 26" wheels and it's really long!
