Tricycle Restoration? (my second project)


Recommended Posts

Posted

That is a badass tricycle.

Will you be selling it or saving it for a future grandson?

You really did a great job.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I forgot to mention in my first comment.  Those slicks are a nice touch, so is the wide whitewalls on the front.  Where did you find them?

 

All the purchased items (hand grips, seat (before I tore it apart and rebuilt it), headset, etc.) I bought off of Amazon.  

The parts I needed were too specific to try to find them all "locally."

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. I could never get out of it the money I put into it, not to mention any of the craftwork.  I'll probably just hang onto it until my kids loose all interest, then give it to someone that I think MIGHT take care of it for awhile.  My kids will probably dig it for another year or so...

Well, then I say keep it for the future grandkids. They will love it.

Great imagination and great job! 

Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.

I forwarded this to my Harley biker buddy, he was very impressed! And, that was with a minimum of chrome. He's all about chrome.

So much leather...so little time.
