over easter holiday I was bored so decided on building a little project. nice and cheap as I'm a poor lowly student. what I came up with was my first bike which I resurrected from the garage last year for rrg'10   a £15 sack truck off ebay.  but of a cut here bit of a weld here. and you get a awesome trike!!!  bit uncomfortable even with a flowery pillow. so a seat needed to be sourced... to the kitchen!! one roasting tin later and a nice comfy bucket seat was found.  then came the testing  definately needed a steeper hill, steeper hill was found.  hope you enjoy. |

awesome idea, might have to arrange something although cant help but think a snow version should be created (rails on the back instead of wheels). Of course only in snowy areas  |

lol that was the idea but couldnt find any hard plastic wheels the right size. the idea is to try and find some 8" diameter drain pipe or something of the sorts and put them over the wheels,
any ideas folks?

Put some dinner trays under the wheels and strap them down McChav style.  . i might tryt a couple of heroes tins next time i talke it out, but ideally i think it would need plastic. ahh well, if i don't try i will never know. |

after taking this down a steel cobbled street (constitution hill in swansea for those in the know) it decided to disintigrate its original wheel bearings, after sourcing a new rear axle, (free from uni) it now has good bearings and a wider track which has helped the stability of it no end. so stable in fact we decided to see its high speed stability, hilarity ensued... high speed test videothen we saw a super steep, rocky hill, which resulted in this  next up, helmet up and see how fast it can actually go behind the car! |
