Ive NEVER looked twice at a trike before, just not my thing. But I came across this, and although its from like 2005, ive never seen it before. I would totally like to build something like that. Its an adult big wheel on steriods! :woohoo:
What is your general thoughts on this?

With all that rear tire and momentum trying to go straight that skinny little front tire has its work cut out for it when it's time to turn. :laugh:

It is sharp! Too close to the ground. I do like the look.

The one I am trying to sell for a friend only has one wheel pulling so it is easier to manuever.

Roy can u post more pics of that bike, especially the rear end setup? Thanks. As far as that bikes handling... We all know it wasn't built to be a canyon carver!

I don't have many pictures of the rear. The bike was built so the two wheels can be removed and the rear wheel installed in less than a hour.

It had a honda 300EX axle in it.

Kenny built one that was shaft drive using a Thunderbird rear. Roy
