Trike 2 Day 3

Today I miniaturized some head tubes! Tomorrow I will be getting the bearings for the cups and hopefully putting on the steering arms and seat!



 Happy Halloween everyone!

Trike 2 Day 1

Today was officially my first work day on the new trikes! I got the rear end done and welded onto the main support tube in just a few hours!




More to come soon! Videos will be posted to Youtube as soon as I figure out computer issues!

Featured in LION

Today, the school newspaper, "LION" was given out, and Trike Trek '11 got a half page spread in it!! I was very pleased with the story, although there were two minor mistakes - one is that Dan lives in IL, not WI. And the other is that the new trikes will use DRUM brakes, not DISC brakes. But either way, they did a great job and I'm very happy with it!

With only a few days to go before the new trikes can begin, I thought I would start up a blog to make progress even easier to track. 

I will be posting pics and videos on this site as well as letting everyone know whats going on.
