I appologize for starting my thread so late. I much rather build than type. I started about a month ago and didn't really think I'd have a chance of finishing in time. As things progressed It seems that it just might happen. My goal is to make a cycle truck with big enough space to haul my softball stuff to games. I also want it big enough that I don't look ridiculus on it. the donor frames are three girls bikes.
I ended up ditching most of the blue Schwinn. I cut and stretched the frame about 7 inches. At the time I didn't think that was much. Once I got it to a point that I could sit on it I found that was quite a bit. I am using a 24 inch wheel on the front. Most of the ones that I have seen have 20 inch up front. probaply to keep the load center of gravity low. I hope my bulk will offset that.
I clamped it with some 2x4s to keep it all aligned. The top tube was fabbed with a piece of 3/4 pluming pipe curved with a conduit bender. Th rest is from another girls bike.
