"We're gonna need a bigger hammer"

[Jason70ss]

Ok, I've been watching for long enough I need to jump into this. I picked these this weekend for $35, woo CL. I'm gonna see what I can get done on ol' Blue there by August.

That rear wheel was item #1 that needed the Thor treatment.

Welcome to BO7.
Did you have to use the axe end of that war hammer on the floor?

Almost after my vise grips turned on me. Also just realized the frame is bowed. I'm pretty sure I can get it straight enough for what I have in store for it.

 

[Jason70ss]

Should call it roadkill since I'm also sure now It has been ran over by a 4 wheeled vehicle..

hammer + wrench = impact wrench!

I like where you are starting from!

There are some great examles on Sheldon Brown on using a 2x4 to help straighten a frame or widen the rear end.

Just flip it over & run over it the other way! :lol: :lol: This, my friend, is gonna be a real challenge, but that's what makes it fun! Go for it! :mrgreen:

Good looking frame. Are you gonna use the forks or any other parts from the girls bike?

 

[Jason70ss]

Not sure, i may end up useing the seat frame. I have a good set of forks here somewhere.

 

[Jason70ss]

This should work

 

[Jason70ss]

I keep catching myself looking at that spring. It calls to me

This may prove useful. I wanted to use the trike before I found the frame.

 

[kingfish254]

Very cool! Another trike build.
