i wanted to build a trike from a road bike for some time. finally got it done. took an old raliegh ten speed and made a ten speed trike out of it. it took some thinking , guessing and research to put the project together. i was afraid that the machine work might be a problem but that wasnt the case at all. infact the machine work was the easier part. the hardest part was locating suitable wheels for the rear and that took several months. painting only required waiting for the cold snap to pass. there are no plans. its one of those project where in the parts direct the build. if you want one you can build one. its easy; he says. its a little scary to ride. it wants to push as nascar folks say and because the rider is seated so high its a bit tippy. smaller tires on the back might help the push and overall small wheels might make it less tippy. hope you enjoy as much i did building it. micheal
