Relaint Trike Frame

[Phixer]

 Hi Guys,

I am completely new to this trike building lark but have convinced myself that I can build a nice squat little trike. I have my engine and axle (which I need to narrow) but I need some help with the frame. Now I have this idea in my head to make the frame a soft-tail (getting to old for bumpy rides)
I have spoken to Panthershaun about this and he reckons you guys are the poel to ask.

Are there any good frame builders out there that I can discuss my design with and how much would I expect to pay for the frame. I want it to look pretty chunky..not this thin old stuff perhaps inch and three quarter tubing?

Any advice would be appreciated?

Hiya,
All my frames have been hardtails -much simpler to build & not nearly as bumpy as you'd expect.
ByzMax would be the chap to talk to -there should be a couple of threads here concerning his soft-tail XS1100 trike. He's looking to go into business as a trike builder & certainly knows what he's doing.
I can PM you his mobile number if you need it.

Ohhh ziggy your a top bloke. Was as a pleasure to meet you and am still appyling pressure over the parts you would like to get your mits on   

In fact you all are fantastic . Shame some of the Manky Crew did not make it to Stormin it was a great weekend and you missed a change in the world of Brit Bike, Trike, and Hotrod building.

It was a fantastic event and and a credit to everyones hard work.

Keep it up Mark
