Fee Tines a Mady!

Found myself wonderfully misplaced at a mountain bike swap meet, yet instantly attracted to some sweet 80s mags in what looked like bigger than a 20"..of course I had to return and enquire, and low and behold...

I'm pretty sure i made a few folks nervous as I learned the hard way that non equal tire pressure means accidental drifting, kept me entertained at least!

Of course, the riding position is god awful, knees in your chest, and as this already has an 80s, not lowrider vibe to it, time to search the stash, and I found:

Those bars were terrible, so I popped on these:

Still to come adding a coaster brake and after more rummaging I've unearthed a bent 26' lowrider springer or 24" rat trap, thinking the latter, more fitting its vibe...

The posts are already knackered on the front fork ,thus the springer. I'm hoping to get the coaster added and hopefully the fork this weekend, then details like tires,

If you flipped the rockers on the rat trap the lines may mimic the lines of the seatpost/sissy bar. The added rake may look cool too

That's a brilliant idea, thanks, Dr!

Hopefully this modified fork should add some rake and thus aid stability..

Of course Rap trap fork's inner diameter is smaller than 22.2...aargh!

Here's a new mock up, i like how the fork mirrors the seat post and sissy

That's what l'm talking about!

Swanky little trike here. Can't wait to see the end results.
