Anyone interested in these? Or built one? Just finished mine but didnt take any pictures along the way. It was a damn fun way to spend a few hours!
Getting rear axle mocked up!
All welded and sprayed
Drift sleeves to go over rear tyres
All done!!
This was my first go at welding, it started off messy but once i got the hang of it, well it seemed to go alright! And is holding up well

just an old bmx, cut the top tube off and welded that into the rear drop outs, got some 16mm bar from b&q(£5), welded that in, got some sackbarrow wheels (£10) can post a link if i can find it, and needed 10inch PVC pipe... only stuff i could find was "Drift Sleeves" on ebay (£25), then a school seat!

Is deffo worth giving it ago, they sell for like £80 so even if you cNt use it you might make a bit of money! And was fun making it! One thing id say is the rear axle needs to be alot wider for better stability!
