That is one solid jig.
Nice to see some more Mankey trikes.

Yes it takes two of us to move it Took us a while to set it up but it will hopefully make life a bit easier |

You ridin' that thing hard guys -you've both managed to get the back wheels off the ground! Looks like you're already covered in road grime too. Must've put some serious air miles on it. Looking fabulous chaps -the trike, not you.  Very nice build. |

To be honest i would have liked to have put a few more air miles on the clock but the rails were still hot from welding  |

So we finaly got the first frame out of the jig
not fully welded yet but a quick question.
I have never ridden a trike but when i turn the steering from side to side the frame moves about six inches to the side is this normal?

Yep and just a piece of advice if you don't mind, get some wider bars.
