Hi ! ,
iam new to this forum, but not to the custom bike world .
iam in the process of rebuilding a old "Shields" fullsize trike .
the axel was cracked and missing a mounting bracket , it was Mad dirty and rusty , but wheels and gears were straight and working fine.
took a chance and bought it for 35$ saing to my self ""if it dont work , ill have spare parts that worth 35$+ at least""
but i manage to clean the chrome to a shine and fix the rear axle , now evry thing is straight and look solid , frame is being stipped down to metal for repaint..
sorry for bad images , i was raining so i took them in the shed :roll:
the wheels spokes are fine , but i will have to paint the rim cause of ugly black rust stain
btw.. Love the Huge seat so comfy have to change the stinky foam tho
this was the damage :shock:
and this is what i plan to make it look like
i choose to make it look older than it really by this choice of paint-job , adding a nice wood floor pick-up bed , fabricating some chrome bars to create a oldschool fork and adding rero style lights .. how old is it ? idk ... you know ?...
Now i need some advice on ----"where or out of what" could i find some kind of chrome cones to make some head lights like on my 3d images :?:
and do you know ----------------what brand , make Baloon tires 24" "totaly slick" or close to , like literaly looking like a "tube":?: cant find
Thanks!
