Token Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 That looks so good!Get a brake on the sidecar wheel, you never know when your going to need to drift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Get a brake on the sidecar wheel, you never know when your going to need to drift!True that. Would have been entirely possible! The BMX wheel is held in by a set of BMX forks..but they could have been built with the Trials fork dropouts with a disc mount instead.Would have been beastly with a disc on that side as well.Ah well.

boon racoon Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Will the bar thats attached to the top tube in the second picture not make it impossible to pedal?There isn't any tubing joined at the toptube..it's just the angle of the pic? Only tubes are joined to the headtube and then the chain/seat stays.You can pedal on it fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
