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...
