    24" white wall tires?

    I put three of those on my girlfriend's tricycle. They are nice tires, and not "too much." viewtopic.php?f=21&t=66788

    another tricycle, Sun Atlas chopper

    It's close to done: A lot happened after starting this project (worked moved me to part time, I used the opportunity to return to college, I got my degree, etc.) so it took a long time to finish. My GF and I bought a vintage travel trailer because I didn't have enough projects and you can see...

    Tour De Fat - Tempe Az.

    Oh, did you run into the guy handing out fliers for a third Friday of every month bike ride? I think the meeting place was Tempe beach park, but I don't remember the time.

    Tour De Fat - Tempe Az.

    Yep, that's an amazing trike. Would the builder of that bike please step forward... :D My GF and I were there on our trikes. We were running a little late because I was still working out some kinks on my GF trike. I'll add to the post about that. Agreed, the lines were longer than I...

    Downtown Phoenix Mardi Gras Parade Feb 9th ...

    This sounds like it could be cool but I'm working and doing 5 classes at ASU so my time is pretty tight. I probably won't ride but I'll keep in mind. Have fun!

    Tempe, Az bike night 1/17

    I'm a little bitter I didn't find out about this earlier... but it wouldn't have made a difference. I have an obligation and can't make it. Maybe some AZ folks can make it? http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/get_ou ... 963f4.html

    Show us them cars!

    Re: Re: Wow.. That was a long time ago. The loan repayment went quckly but it was a bit ugly. I was even selling my old board games on Craigslist to scrape the money up for that! I'm very glad to say I got it done though. I don't miss the Cougar at all. Although I did see a rough 68...

    another tricycle, Sun Atlas chopper

    Thank you for noticing that. I did that on purpose. I put the forks on and then I made small pie cuts behind the head tube until the frame sat level. Then, I made small cuts in the seat tube and support until the seat tube angle matched the forks. The girlfriend loved the bike but she...

    another tricycle, Sun Atlas chopper

    Both my girlfriend and I love riding my Bel Air tricycle... so I decided to build her a tricycle for Christmas. Most of the Bel Air build can be seen here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=50819 Here's what the Sun tricycle looked like before I started cutting it up...

    Status Suspension, anyone bought from them?

    I got everything I ordered, quickly. I would order something from them again.

    Status Suspension, anyone bought from them?

    I ended up doing the paypal thing to get my tires ordered. So far, I'd say your assesment is spot on.

    Status Suspension, anyone bought from them?

    Yeah... I might just do that.

    Status Suspension, anyone bought from them?

    Has anyone bought anything from Status Suspension? These guys have a smoking price on a some tires I need for a new tricycle build. I've never heard of them... So, I hope somebody has had some experience with them before I start sending them credit card numbers. :)...

    I met a couple of people from RRB at the Tour De Fat - Nice meeting you!

    Tour De Fat, Tempe AZ Oct. 6th

    I can't do the measurement thing with my SA hub. The hub for my 5 speed is a wide hub but the chain/rod is for a standard width hub. So, the part you're supposed to see/measure is deep inside the hub when it's assembled.

    Tour De Fat, Tempe AZ Oct. 6th

    There are bike events several times a year but I think Phoenix is such a big place that bike event announcements get swallowed up by other events. I went to a pretty cool bike thing in Mesa last spring. They shut down main street and had a bike parts swap, there were bands and a stage, I think...

    Tour De Fat, Tempe AZ Oct. 6th

    Anybody else going? I'll be there with my trike and the special lady friend will be rolling on her Electra Betty. I just repaired two flat tires this morning... thorns. I still haven't had much luck getting the SA five speed adjusted though. This guy was at last years event...

    Belair tricycle

    I should have made this update a long time ago ago but I got tied up with other projects. I got the five speed hub in and it's nearly tuned. I've only got 20-ish miles on the tricycle and the hub itself seems to be breaking in and shifting smoother. It still doesn't seem to shift 100% right...

    Belair tricycle

    The hub I'm using is a Sturmy Archer hub, or gear box as S/A calls it, that (I think) is supposed to be installed in quadracycles because it has a reverse gear. It came with the extra sprocket pre-installed. Once my phone uploads my fairly poor pictures, you'll be able to see how the extra...

    Belair tricycle

    I’m at work so I don’t have the time to check out the link thoroughly, but wouldn’t that put the sprocket on the wrong side of the hub?
