I'm voluntarily cross-posting this from rec.bicycles.marketplace because it's big news for trike
fans on a budget: Tom Teesdale (a highly experienced and well respected US custom framebuilder) is
now building tadpole trike framesets! He's building multiple wheel configurations, in both single
and tandem styles. Prices are quite reasonable, and cheaper than the best quotes I received from
Robert Stein for his wonderful trike framesets (tough choice to make). This is all I've seen so far;
but prices and basic specs are included herein. Looks like Tom can provide a complete trike package
for well under $2,000. I can't wait to see some photos.
Place your orders now. A waiting list is sure to follow...
