Got my HDPE sleeves this week, and put them on last night! I think they look great. The black is better than reg PVC and much thicker.



(I forgot to put the gloves in the picture - sorry)

I am making a chain guard. Painted it last night and will finish it tomorrow.

I also ordered some foot peg covers that should help keep my feet from sliding off. Thanks OldMiniBikes!

I wish it wasn't so cold so I could try it out this week-end!

Latest pictures, basically complete. Just a few finishing touches - then I'll be riding if the weather would cooperate.

Homemade chainguard:


Foot pegs - 6 positions based on rotating or swapping which bolt is pivot:


This bike was not made to use caliper brakes, so I fabbed a bracket and welded to forks:





Since it is no longer a Schwinn, it is now a Schwing (Wingfield)

Pretty much the final picture, only need to add the footpeg covers:

This is my March post to show I'm still in the Build-off, but I'm basically finished and just waiting for good weather to ride it.

I will post pictures or video in a few days.

This is my April post. I have ridden my drift trike around the yard a few times, but not had a chance to get on some asphalt yet to really try it.

My preacher is building one, too. So when we finishes his, we plan to use the Church parking lot!

Pictures or videos then.

 

[Truckasaurus44]

I can't wait to see the videos! looks like a blast.

 

[wb4rt]

This thing is fun, fun, fun!

This is my May 1-16 post to show I'm still around.

I have a riding video that I will post in the next day or so.

I have replaced the front tire, cleaned up the rusty wheel, replaced the brake pads already, and shined up the front fender.

I had some "full grown" boys riding it last week-end. They had a blast until they bent my forks. :doah: So now they are straightened and re-inforced with 5/8" solid rod. I think they will hold up now! :hammer:

Pictures coming.

Where did you get your HDPE sleeves from?

The HDPE are much thicker and wear better than PVC. Plus, the black just looks better.

OUCH! $60 a set!!!!
I have a friend that sells some but i don't think he has the black.
I am in the process of building my first drift trike, I pretty much have all the parts now but a few small things and now I can start assembling it.

Have you priced a joint of 10" PVC? Hard to find and VERY expensive - like $300 for 10'. And 12" HDPE is even more. So, considering they cut it and finish it it is really not much more than the price of the pipe.
