more junk from the sunshine state

Bill B · 2003-01-22T22:06:01+00:00

I think these have been seen on arbr before. Anyway whoever is selling/making this junk is not the first to use a cheap wal mart Y frame mountain bike as a platform. I can only imagine what it is like to be sitting on one of these while going over a speed bump with the seat back stays attached directly to the rear swing arm. check it out at---- http://filus.net/index.htm

Seen them before actually. The model 5 is pretty sneaky. Looks like he cut off the part of the
Y-frame that supports the saddle and used it up front as a boom.

So, he finally set up his own web site instead of just using eBay. I once asked him about his design
since I was considering doing something with a dual-20" Y-frame kid's bike that I have, and he
responded that the seat bottom and back are hinged, so the back moves with the swing arm. (Assuming
I read his e-mail right, his English is terrible.) That was for his "A4" bike that the side-by-side
tandem is now made from. He also once made a FWD/PS delta trike that looked really scary. I wonder
if he really ever expects to ask his "regular" prices?

The reason the small pictures are slow loading is because they are huge JPG files.
