This is
the first CAD plan of the frame and seat details. The frame and
first seat brackets were welded by Western Welding Works in Carmichael. All construction on the quadracycle itself was done by Mike Farnam and myself. |

A 3D view of the frame. Most all of the parts were developed on the computer and cut on a CNC machine. |
 |
The derailleur hanger. Rear hubs from a bicycle acts as the transmission for each side. |
 |
These are the brackets for holding the brake calipers on the frame. |
 |
The wheel hubs on the tricycle axles were not round enough for the disc brakes. So these thick hubs were machined, welded onto the wheel spindles and then turned to compensate for the wobble. |
 |
For the new seat brackets, much of the unneeded material was removed. |

If you're gonna build a bike for Burning Man, why not do it with some style! These cutouts are on all 4 seat plates. You can see right through all 4 when the seats are lined up. This wraps up the drawings. Thanks for looking! |
