build a trike   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #458 of 1017 |

Hello folks;

Well I'm a longtime admirer 'newbie'. I'll briefly explain. I used to take
long bike rides around Los Angeles (I mean 8-12 hour rides) and came upon People
Movers when I was 19. From the minute I first tried an USS recumbent I was
hooked. I loved them and begged a test ride whenever a shop had a recumbent on
display.
Unfortunately the pocketbook has never been large enough for a $1000+ bike,
therefore I've merely salivated over them.

Now however there's a possible solution. I would like to find someone to build
me a tandem trike frame which I can add used components and build up in quality
as the paychecks increase.
So I've done extensive research, and played around in CAD with a design that
uses existing materials (i.e. rear triangle and bmx forks) when possible.

The design can be viewed at -- www.yourbodypower.org/mytrike.htm --

If you are in or near Portland, Oregon and have some extra time on your hands
for this job, please let me know. I am willing to be flexible but I want to be
sure the frame is very strong.

Thank you in advance;
Aaron Tarfman

Why not just buy the Greenspeed Tandem plans? That way you will always have a homebase from which to build. I bought the GTR plans and they are great! The...
