Wish it was mine...~~ Vintage Pedal Cab ~~

[Skipton]

I took a different route on my ride home from work the other night. I saw this very cool pedal cab.

Rode by today in the daylight to get some pics...

Not sure whats going on with the fork :roll:

Brake lever

Can you say fixie

Pedal cab bushiness are popular right now in Chicago... http://www.rogerrickshaw.com/

I don't think this one has seen any "For Hire" business in a LONG time :wink:
This bike has been sitting for a long time. Just has a cheap cable locking it up. I hope it doesn't sit here all winter and slowly rot or get
vandalized or stolen. (and sold for scrap)

I would love to have it and make a Rat Rod trike out of it.

I'd ask about it! I would love to have one. Would be killer for swap meets and hauling bike parts.

Hey Skipton,

Looks like its full of history
Wonder what the symbols say...
Thanks for posting it

I'd ask about it!

I would love to but.... It's just locked up on a street corner, Have no idea who owns it :?

I was wondering the same thing about the symbols.

Also thought they might be just made up and have no meaning :?

Thanks for looking guys!

I would canvas the area to see who owns it. It's definitely being neglected judging by the flat tires. It needs to be saved before it's stolen.

Put a note in a zip-lock bag and zip tie it to the bike :idea:

Gosh skipton, is there any way you could ask around? It would be a shame if it got taken for scrap. It would make an awesome rat.

Ratshaw!!! :lol:

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Yes it would, Plenty of space for pinstripes. I'd be tempted to trade my car for that.

You sure it's fixed? My trike axle has a freewheel and it looks like that, maybe I need a bigger photo, but looks to have bearings in it.

my buddy actually has/had 2 whole pedicabs and a spare frame =)


he made the Whomp Trike

here's when he picked them up with some help from another buddy.

oldgreaser,

I think i will leave a note on it. I was already thinking of how to get it home ( and since I don't have a Subaru Brat :lol: I think I could push it home just over a mile.

Probably a joke, but not funny. :x

My daughter's only bike was stolen a couple weeks back and just realized that one of my son's bikes has been stolen since then.

I saw this Korean? military trike at a surplus store nearby. It absolutely intrigued me an part of me wanted so much to buy it, but a good look at it dissuaded me. And example of the quality: the front hub appears to be made of cast iron. I do love the size of the cargo area.
