Well I officially throwing my hat into the ring. I'm not sure this will be concidered a rat but its what I'm working on so I thought I'd share. The bike that I was going to build up is a Hurcules but I quickly found out that Brit bikes have funny sized wheels and tires. Neither of which I have on hand and with cash flow low I re-hung the 3-speed on its hook and wasn't going to do anything. I bought this trike close to two years ago with the intent of putting an engine on it but for many engineering reasons that hasn't happened yet so the bike has been collecting dust for awhile now. Last fall I had an extra set of 24X3 tires laying around so I threw them on the trike and thought it looked cool. The first shot is with the cheezy nobbies on it.
24X3s
Fast forward several more dust collecting months and alot of snow, I decided to play with this one again. Today I put a Sturmey Archer 3-speed on it and completely changed out the front end. It was 10 degrees today and with the help of my kerosene heater I got the garage up to 40, so heres a couple of pics with more to come...Kelly
The new fork gave it a nice rake, the original had some bad angles and it steered funky.
