If you can't weld I wouldn't have you cutting either lmfao.

Yeah you're probably right. Hacksaws don't like me. Handlebars and steerer tubes always end up sideways, for some reason. Which is why I do the maintenance that doesn't require saws. I've gotten better at changing tires since my "drunk" attempt last time eh.

I'd use a plasma cutter on it. And thank god.

Oh cause I can buy a BMX or something, make plans for what needs to be cut and welded, do the cutting and then get it welded. Then find tires and a seat, and I'm done.
My buddy Zach has a shop in Kitchener and could help you out for a reasonable fee. He is doing welding on my truck and he's made several snow bikes and shit. I can PM you a link to his account if you want. I would also have to ask him first of course.

Yeah Reck that'd be loads of help! That way I can get the project on the way. I'll just borrow my bro's road bike and get the trike project started. And you should unblock me so I can follow you. Up to you.

I will ask Zach if he's down and let you know what he says.

That's dope. I'm glad you found this thread again, it's just the time of season where I'm thinking of what projects to start up. There's online manufacturers that will sell a complete for like 400$ but I don't think I want to do that, would rather build one my self.

It's cost me around 250 I think, plus it's cool to say Ive built it from scratch myself.

Hey guys I know this thread hasn't been active in a while but I will soon be starting my drift trike. I have 2 questions what is the best front wheel size and what are the most commonly used tubes for building the frame.
