ive worked out,including cutting up the frame twice,that its took me about three and a half weeks not including the time it took to collect the parts,to build this trike frame.
it just needs all the welds smoothing out and work out where to put the foot pegs,but all in all its done.
this was done in a shed that is only 8 foot by 6 foot (i like it cozy),working about 5 hours a day.
so dont be put off ,you can do it .
get building.
tony b,shabba.

andy ill get some pics of the frame when ive cleaned it up and got the surface rust off it ,mine is built using scrap tube from an engineering factory ,which there are about 15 in a 5mile radius from my house,if not more,
once triker 9999 bought some pipe from me for his build ,the frame now only owes me £9,.
all other bits ive got from my dads breakers yard from the scrap skip.
=
=
=

=
=
i think because of the very low cost of the parts ,and in honour of the trike i first saw in the BSH maggazine,the FLAPSTER,im going to call mine the SCRAPSTER,
any one like to remark on this ,please do.
