    Wow. That's amazing craftmanship and quality, I wish I could ride this bike.

    The coolest trike I have ever seen! Pure functional, kinetic artistry. Why aren't you selling these?! I can assure you, a lot of people would buy one even if it cost more than their car!

    You have my respect people dont even know what hard work it is to build a bike like this. the details like the pinstriping and crome, welding fabrication and dedication ..... especialy the atencion to detail!

    I originally was going to say that I wished that bike manufactures would take notice of this example of craftsmanship... But as I was typing the words, I found my self thinking if that were to happen, this true piece of artistic craftsmanship would be lost..! I love it's clean flow of curved lines which where a standard for cars of a era that seems to be so far forgotten.. Curves like the curves on a Cadillac or Bentley and other beautiful cars that can only be seen in a museum today... People take notice this is the work of an artist who's skills are just dripping off this gorgeous work of art... My hat goes off to you, and a standing ovation could not be enough respect to the art.... I can not wait to see your next piece...!

    Sorry but I'm 71 years old and retired now. I actually built the bike for my retirement years to cruise the boardwalks and get my exercize. I'm lovin it!!

      Working on one now.
      Shelby gt500 Eleanor theme.
      For my mother she is going to use it for her fishing gear.
      Its a classic sun 7speed. Totally went thru all new bearings. Convert to 7speed. Maybe add electric in a few years she doesn't want it now. Paint is in progress now. Not blasted all hand prep primer paint.
      This was an old trike.
      I will try my hand at my first pinstripe work. Badge gt500 and Eleanor. My grandmothers name.
      Done? Friday?

    I built one similar a few years back, but instead of a rear seat I bolted on a 2" ball hitch so the ole lady wouldn't slip off the back...she enjoyed the ride!

  • @joannasaville4687
    @joannasaville4687 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    "Axels" is shown at least twice.
    Those should be spelled Axle.
    I'm a bit surprised that a cycling video misspells axle.
    Credits:
    "Techinical"

    Is it too late to correct those spelling mistakes in this video?
