Soapbox lookin' Trike
« on: August 31, 2008, 05:43:32 AM »
A while back someone posted a link or a picture to a reverse trike that looked like a Soapbox racer. I can't find it anymore. Does anyone still have it?   

...


... or know what I'm talking about??

No, it's not the spyder. I know those and like those. :)

No, it was something else. I remember reading the article online ans having my wife ask me why I was looking at Soapbox racers. The article, written by the designer, said that they only built three of them.

Anyone remember these?

And here's the post that I first saw it in.

I knew I'd find it eventually. There's only so much room on the internet.  ;) ;D
