got given some old dirtbike bits other day, so decided with kids we would build a chopper style bicycle.
will be using top half of forks but making new handle bars and using the swingarms.
wheel in pic a spacesaver emergency one that we too centre out of and then extended bike hub to fit.
we spoked it up using some old spokes as didn't want to damage good ones whilst building bike.
also a couple of pics of other bikes we have made.

Nice projects for you and the kids to share, their smiles prove it.
 
Good for you taycat....and great for your kids!

Gotta let them see that things can be built, instead of bought.

already on there under dif user name kat used trike chop in feb newsletter i think it was.
 
Jan issue. Really cool trike. I like it.
Got a few builds there myself, under savarin.
I've stopped building bikes of late in fact I just gave all my parts and bit to a local group who build for the needy.
Still have everything sitting there for the tilting trike though but havnt touched it for 2 years.
 
got bit more done, going to put wide crank on it so just one chain.
usual way is to fit separate hub part way back with 2 cogs fitted one each side and 2 chains.
planning on some footrest's between pivot point and crank but that will be one of last job's.
welding not pretty but is strong.
tay is getting better at arc.
