My idea is to build a trike with three 18"x10" rims. I am thinking it will look a lot like the big-wheel I had as a kid. Here re a few photos and a list of ideas, this being my first build on a bike ever we will see how many I can actually pull off
The seat will be down on the platform in the back so you sit down in between the back wheels
The original seat and seat post will be removed and more bracing added for stength
Front will be raked out to give it a chopper look and bring the handlebars closer to the new seat location
Using a go-kart axle in the back with a diff
replacing the jackshaft hub with a nexus 3 speed hub
Disk brakes on the back, either in both back rims or a single on the axle (prob a setup off a small dirtbike or 4wheeler)
I want to machine my own triple tree front forks (possible a single sided front fork)
fenders for the back wheels
a small trailer hitch on back (I want to build a small trailer for it after the buildoff)
Still thinking about colors, leaning towards a royal blue with silver and pearl white details or satin black with purple and silver details. I am open to suggestions (anything but pink and yellow)
This is a lot to get done hope I can do it and make half the ideas I have work!!
Good luck to everyone, I am exited to stop watching and finally participate!
I think this is a Worksman frame, I got it at Heartville Flea Market 2 years ago for $30
The Rims, I got all 4, $100
Something like this ...... maybe
