Rickshaw Rat

[2Slow]

This is not my bike but I took the photo at a non-profit community bike shop in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The owner got this rickshaw from Thailand. It is a serious rat job, foot brake, asian decorations, re-welds everywhere... Anybody know what this thing started as?

Rickshaw from birth.

Probably British inspired and from India.

Notice the holes in the bars which would have been for rod brakes. The main triangle also looks like most of the bikes they ride in India.

That thing has some really nice features. I love that frame insert... I've tought about doing something similar but never got around to do it...
