Hello from the Berlin Campground!
This year I'll try my hands on a class 2 build, but for now without welding.
This was my starting point today:
One (partial) break down and four cuts with the hacksaw later it's was mockup time. First I tried the 26' front. Looks good but learning from experience from my first SwingBike I need a steeper angle for the headtube. This either means cut and weld (no option so far) or drop the front.
So I tried the 20' front that was left from my trike build:
Much more to my liking...
Then I threw various parts at it and that's what stuck so far.
I will need a higher ape, but for now it's ok...
Now everything is tucked away in the trailer waiting for my next stay on the campground...
