The next series of photos is over 2 days, everyone has been so busy working that we didnt have time to upload all the pics!
Welded #40 sprocket to a steel hub/cassette ready for bearing installation
This is where man meets machine...
Old hub turned into steering cable spindle
Spindle joined to ground down front end and mini wheel for balance
Kate does some last minute welding on the steering arm
TIME TO MOUND THE 3RD WHEEL!
There she is... ready to tear it up
Bikes welded, ready for chain work
Meanwhile Tom gets chugging along with the bowling pin captains wheel.
This thing weighs at least 50 lbs... 10 bowling pins...
Hedy continues work on the sculpture, almost there (This thing is massive)
Close up of our 4 way roller from a winch used as the steering cable guide... Keep those hands clear!!
Custom pulley block welded on angle iron. This is the final bend before the spool. Old Bowflex parts coming in the clutch, Feel the burn!
Time to weld the captains wheel/spindle combo to the frame. The top of those pins are about 10'
leftover spoke cable used for the steering system. Since this is a rudder steering configuration we are crossing our steering cables so the captains wheel & steering direction coincide.
She steers!!
Just tightening up the chains, installing the seats & mounting the breaks and she is ready to ride!!
