Built out of a mountain bike. I have been toying with this idea for a while. I was mulling it over a few days ago and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I could do this, cut that, put this here. I have had this bike for about 15 years and it had been out in the elements for 12. It would have cost more to get it running again than it was worth so I decided to recycle it.
The initial plan was to leave the back tire in place but I figured pretty quick that it would have been a pain to load. So I got a piece of 1/2''id pipe and a 1/4'' *I think) rod to build the axle. A huge stroke of luck allowed the spacers from the front rim to pop into the pipe perfectly.
Well, here it is...
I still am working on a solution for the hitch. It will be attached to the quick disconnect so it can attach to the forks still. It will need to be something with a ball joint so it will turn and go up and down hills. Any suggestions?
