    Free wheel front hub

    That's not bad. May be an option if I can't find anything else. Would like to avoid using a chain if possible.

    Free wheel front hub

    Yeah I hear that. Was thinking of a shaft that sits on the axle. Then having a clam shell clamp thing go around the bearing. Then welding those clamps to the forks. Really hoping there would be enough axle to attach the cranks to. Then I run into the problem of shifting through the cranks......

    Free wheel front hub

    Yeah been looking for those locally. Though like you mentioned they are single speed. Would there be a way to modify an existing multispeed hub to accept a set of cranks? At least having it be reliable of course

    trike build help

    Yeah looking at other frames, the front forks are weird. I do have access to a mill and a lathe, so I may be able to fabricate something to work.

    frame tube size

    Well I am in the process of getting things together for a build, but I keep coming back to the tubing size. I am going to go with a square tube, to be different than what is seen up here and the fact that it should be easier to weld and shape with minimal tools. I am thinking of a 1.25-1.5"...
