In this pic my trike is just slammed together for the fringe opening parade the other week. I will do a little more to it before the Mt Lofty downhill chopper run this Saturday.
It's a long story.....
From front to back. The front wheel is off of my Mongoose Hard Luck just to get it rolling. I am building up a 24 inch at the moment. The forks are 1998 Boxxer 151's. I have Hayes hydros for it but not fitted up yet. The head tube is cut out of a Haro BMX. The top tube is 2 x Huffy deploy's BMX's joined together.
I got 3 piece cranks from the another Haro. The seat stays are exhaust tubing. The rear kind of chain stays are (get this) from an old futon lounge I found in a bin. It has a WTB rear MTB hub as an 8 speed gear box. Driving a proper differential via a second chain. So both wheels drive. Rare for a trike.
I plan to paint the frame, fork and rear axle in matt army green. Everything else stays black.
I had all XTR for the gear box but the long cage is too close to the ground.
The handle bars have been changed since the pic. I will probably fit another 6 bars before I'm happy. The seat pole is getting bent too this week, for extra lay back.
There is so much more to it but I won't go on.
This is the kind of thing you will see at the Mt Lofty lookout on saturday.
Everybody is well keen to help new commers out with ideas, parts and advice.
