Home design Tadpole
Here's a shot of the trike I built for a friend. It borrows from all over. Bentec style chainstays, Greenspeed kingpins, AZ brakes, trisled style direct steering and the crossmember attached like a LoGo. It is all brazed.

Very nice, I really like the accessory bar on the derailleur tube.

Yeah, why aren't those standard equipment on all tadpoles and SWB??

Wish I'd made drawings. It was just designed as I built.
The accessory bar was copied from my LoGo trike.
I used Peter Elands spreadsheet to work out the steering.
Hey Nightturkey. Bet you could build one if you tried. It's not hard.

Dam you even like him enough to put a bash guard on it. Now why can't one of the trike manufacturers think like you?

So, is this a salvage job or new from the ground up?
And what's the monetary damage?

Sorry I didn't get back sooner BluesCat.
This trike was new from the ground up except the brake callipers , brake handles and rear hub which I had on hand in good condition. The trike cost all up $700 AUD. Most stuff was from LBS. Could have probably done better using Ebay etc . The trike could be built a lot cheaper. I spoked up the rear wheel myself with an 8 speed hub and a 36 spoke double wall BMX hub for strength. The front wheels are 48 spoke BMX with 14mm axles as used in the AZ streetfox.
