Special Olympics Rat Rod Trike

[falcondave]

So last summer my aunt asked me to build a trike for a friend of the family in Montana who just won three gold medals in Special Olympics.His name is Adrian,he's 15 and has never rode a bike before because of balance.They wanted it to gold and custom.Only problem was they needed it done in a month so we could surprise him when they come to visit on 4th of July.So there I was a month into bonine build and now im building a trike too. I didnt even have a trike to start with. All I could find was a bent worksman trike frame a friend in the local bike club had.I cut off the front half that was bent and added front of a murrey cruiser.Laced my first set of wheels for the rear.Made a tank plate.I thought gold frame would clash with chrome so I decided to go black bike and paint all chrome gold.With limited time and budget I think it came out ok.He loves it,riding around with his little dog in the basket.

It turned out nice and he certainly looks happy with it. Love seeing people do things like this for other people.
