-Disc brake mounts
-Upright positioning, fairly slack, comfortable geometry.
-Needs to support around 300lbs
-And, finally, it should be able to take most stock bike parts without too much hassle.
If there's anyone who can do this, PLEASE get in touch with me via PM or email. This would help a lot
Damn! It sounds like your Grandpa is getting into downhill trike racing! That's pretty cool! If I were looking for a trike for an older person, I'd probably be looking at something lightweight that was designed to operate on roads (skinny high-pressure tires, rim or coaster brakes, etc).
