Home from Cedar Hill-Note to Steve W

[kajamelu4]

We've been home a little over an hour. Lucas is already gathering parts for his new 'project'. I don't know whether to thank you for all your patience with Lucas and Tyler this weekend and their fascination with your 'trike', or just drive back down to Texas and smack ya! Oh well, I guess if they're busy building something, they won't have time to get in trouble for anything else!

I don't know whether to thank you for all your patience with Lucas and Tyler this weekend and their fascination with your 'trike', or just drive back down to Texas and smack ya!

You can do either - or both.

I'm glad they enjoyed it. I debated whether I should bring it or not as I knew I'd be spending my riding time on the mountain bike. I'm happy they enjoyed it.

I just checked the mileage on the trike, and it looks like a little over 11 miles was put on it around that camping loop. Awesome!

My kids were ready to start building a trike as soon as we got. lots of fun to ride. I told them i wanted finish the tear before i start another project but that is not likely to happen. Thanks for bringing the trike. I will pm you when i get through scrounging bike parts.

I didn't use any plans. I just kind of winged it. Check out this website: http://www.fleettrikes.com. He has a ton of good info and a very nice help section. I created mine using his pictures of the Flying Cross design.

I have some more build pics I can send, or link to a zip file of them if you're interested.

Just tell the wife you're building it for her.

[Kit76]

That Would be great if You Could post or E-mail Me Some more Pics. I Have to Build One.

Steve that is great job on the trike construction. It gives me ideas! The photos of your build help explain the process. I have looked at a trike several years ago but got busy and forgot now you remind me. Now all them spare bicycle parts I have be hording may have a use!

Cool! I hope you build, and I hope you'll send some pics if you do.

I have access to salvage yard for parts.
I have fixed and given away several bikes over the years.
You ideas on design and pictures help the progress.
But first I need to finish my trailer and get pictures posted.
