One bike disgused as another.
It weighs 55 LBS.
It looks like something a child designed, maybe that's why my wife always tells me I'm 4 ????
I've had several factory built trikes,and this is the only one that doesn't pull to the left. It goes straight and true.
Final pics as soon as I can scout out some locations.

It looks good! My bike build is basically a kids' bike in adult size so I can understand. Maybe it just makes you feel like a kid!!

Love that effect you got on the wheels....rusty old wooded wagon wheels was my first thought! And your tire selection is spot on. Definitely a "big kids" bike! (aren't we all? ;) ) Looks great overall, really impressed. Maybe you can find a rusty merry-go-round or slide at a neglected playground for your photo opp? Nice work!
 
Cool bike looks like a CwC trike will get the job done for sure !

Sadly and happily the city I live in started tearing down elementary schools the day after school ended, the playgrounds went with them....But they'll all be rebuilt.
 
Like I said it's way to cool.
I was just wondering if a nice old crate would look good on the back.Give it that old wagon look or pick up.

I thought about that for going to get groceries,or maybe a camel back trunk.

I'm glad you like it, it's my first attempt at a build. Gonna try to push the envelope next year.

Or good for a beer run.
You still have time,to find,and make doodads.
A headlight etc.
The bike makes me think instantly of the Model Ford-T

I'll most likely put a box on back of some sort, I tried an old carbide lamp but it didn't look right to me.

You've probably right,but I'll keep you in mind. We'll see what I can do.
