Hi all,
Well I've finally finished my "Bentech" trike. Actually its for a
friend who intends to ride it around Australia.
The main boom is pure Bentech SWB I just put the bend the other way
and welded on a cross tube for the front wheels.
The seat is the same as my Yellow B'tech SWB. The front wheels are
15mm axle BMX wheels and I spoked up the rear wheel myself following
Sheldon Brown's article.
The whole bike is fillet brazed mostly muffler tube. Finished weight
was 20kg the same as my commercially built LoGo trike.
It rides real nice and has a good turn of speed.
The photos are in the photo section "John's Bike
Heck its time we had some posts here. Its been very quiet of late.
I've been building and I've been working on a DeltaWolf from the
Atomic Zombie stable.
I also want to build a highracer. I think I can base it on the Bentech
just by keeping the boom straight. I have a nice set of 700C road
wheels for it.
My problem though is short legs. I might have to build a dip in the
middle where the seat goes.
So come on you lot. How about hitting the keyboard and letting us know
what you are doing. Building? Rides? whatever. Time to make this group
rock.
Regards,
John Lewis
