bike trailer

[old tree man]

Well its going well got it all welded together, and fixed to my bike which is easy detachable, i've got the timber for the side then all i have to do is paint it. all this was made out of a recycled steel bed some bits and pieces lying around my shed, my mate gave me the timber and some paint, the only thing i had to buy was some flat bar and thread bar for the wheel spindle all in all the total cost was £7 and thats it i am so chuffed

should have it totally finished befor christmas

Ive been wanting to do this for over a year, lol any chance of some piccies so i can steal some inspiration - in particular the couppling / method of attachment to the bike

Very cool indeed

I could do with something like this to transport tools around

When I have work to do at home I have to drive home with my tools

Well done

Many thanks - looks good. the couple doesn't swivel then, the trailer is in effect a rigid extension of the bike then?

Hi frozen, i made a coupling from a 1" diameter tube cut in half then welded to a flat plate, i'll take some photo's and post them soon.
