The older Guys like Rich are a Mine of information & He has so much passion for Trikes, Ian turned a rusty pile of bent crap into a good looking Machine 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

Another pretty sweet build by Ian. I love how he used the skateboard wheels and built all the other custom parts. He basically built the whole bike from scratch. I wonder if Ian still skates???!!!!

[@nahuelbibbo515]

[@robertostephen3733]

[@richardcormier4561]

Old school way to form that section was to use chicken wire then wrap with siran wrap

[@eoggblaine9725]

Please stay with cars, and trucks? I love the work you did on the Econoline.

[@scubatrucker6806]

[@geraldfitzgibbon7428]

Realy nice lookin trike. Love way u made frame and the skid frame to put controls on.looks real good

[@rickduquette3399]

This was my first time watching your videos. WoW, truly unique what you did with just a few pieces of old junk and your mind working overtime you have made a thing of beauty. Rich was a fountain of knowledge and his comment near the end of the video about wanting to do something with you is a beautiful idea. What with his experience and your enthusiasm, not to mention all of the "projects" he has scattered around his property I'm sure that whatever it is that the two of you reinvent will be a thing of beauty. I couldn't hit that subscribe button fast enough after watching this video. I see my future watching everything out there of all and any of your builds. You are a master at what you can do and I'm sure that whatever you build will be unique. I look forward to your next build/video. 👍👍👍

[@taurota1554]

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@murmur3966]

Wow that was awesome seeing you meet Rich and spend some time with him for a little inspiration. I remember back before everything you were looking at became "RETRO". :-) I think I remember seeing one of Rich's rides in a magazine and drooling over it and the hot young lady on it. Keep up the incredible work and sharing the beautiful art you create with us all. Stay safe, healthy and as happy as you can be. 🤘😁👍

[@patorilim266]

WOW! Amazing Build! 👍😎

[@patrickscanlon1631]

Wow love the trike Ian great product

[@sirkriskringle]

Awesome Build WOW 😎👍x10 . SKK .

[@SDS-1]

I've seen these with a low roof and windscreen. I really like those too. I'd be afraid to ride this, I'd fall asleep like a baby in a car

[@durango8882]

Kai 🙏🏻 thank you for your passion of bikes✌🏼

[@woodturningartbyhabeebasad1020]

This thing came out really good🤙🏽. I am a trike man. I am building a reverse trike right now😎👍🏽

[@Mrintelligent2025]

Looks great 👍

[@chuckcafiero4546]

want to restore Elvis's Rupp Centaur trike? I have one.

[@mshort7087]

That has the look of an old Ed Roth trike body. Great for daredevil’s and early funerals😂

[@lestergarcia4827]

Very cool always looking forward to the next build. 😮

[@draven3838]

Totally awesome build I'd definitely drive it.

[@user-ok2vl1yo5s]

I seen one of those in running condition way back in the 80s cruising up mt.Saint Helen's in Washington

[@hellohello-tk5qz]

i really enjoyed the episode I just wish he would have shown more of the build process .

[@Mike-mm2bt]

I love that trike is beautiful another job well done

[@jamesmeredith381]

I have 3 Trikes by Strikes 2 still in shipping crates! I also have the booklet that tells & shows you how to build the frame and trike plus the parts you need!

[@kingtut5923]

New to your channel , glad I stopped by. Your like Michael Angelo

[@juststeve7665]

This isn't the builder's/Ian's channel.

[@royfrye2871]

That turned out badass. Once again, Ian you knocked it outta the park!🤙👍

[@christophereakin]

Looks like it wheelies pretty easy. I talked to a guy many years ago riding a VW trike up the Alaska Highway, he said the only thing was he had to remember to not accelerate through corners because it would lift the front wheel and head for the cabbages.

[@patrickrooney5130]

I don't know about you guys. But this guy is one of the most incredible person I have ever seen. Great ideas.he go's the hole 9 yards.

[@chrissmith7669]

The same style Elvis had. Hard to imagine the king cruising Nashville on one of these

[@robertoeagenorrabelo6046]

Cara vc é o mestre do metal mesmo sou fan do teu trabalho

[@TommieG60]

I am HOOKED on your videos! Damn you do amazing work!!

[@brucepietro6046]

Another Beautiful vehicle.

[@mustafasafaali8982]

تابعت الفديوهات . عملك رائع ❤

[@vcval]

I know this is just a re post but I like that it was a single episode full build

[@matthewmarquisee238]

That looks like the body of an old Ed Roth trike.

[@Farm_fab]

A VW 1.4l TDI diesel engine would have been awesome on that trike. 75-90 HP, and 75 mpg, depending on the model. The UK is one of the best places to get them for cheap.

[@user-ds8wr3ez6o]

WOW-WOW-WOW LET HER RIP DUD,David in Texas USA

[@showd300]

I really like that strike I like the blue the pinstripes on it really compliment the body I like the way the suspension is built the craftsmanship on the brake Lancer custom handlebar and the wire Thanos pretty looks again classic Ian rozelle custom trike special

[@randall1959]

I can watch this man or Jesse James all day long. Both of them are metal Michaelangelos.

[@user-to1jw8sh7x]

Cool 😎

[@SRRS478]

awesome

[@cyclemaster46]

Looks like a Ed Roth body.

[@larrycrosby3023]

Hi Guys, 3 I am wondering. What ever happened to the Henry J? Did you finish it and was it filmed? I really liked that car and what you did with it. Have a great life.

[@TheElcoqui346]

You took off the side wheel covers , so now there can't be a back seat rider with out the fear of getting hurt with the moving wheels .

[@johnluburic8886]

Sick work love it what a beast

[@stevecook2137]

Makes a change to watch a programme where the builder hasn't got a £100 thousand pounds worth of machinery, just a welder and an old tube bender, something that I could do, very Very nice,

[@billyking722]

Seen one done with Corsair engine by Sacred Steel

[@rickemery212]

I had one it’s a stires trike from cal.mine had a big springer front with a casket luggage on the back it also had weelie bars at the back it would do a wheallie as soon as you start and every gear you went up in the air very dangerous

[@ShaunHensley]

I just did a search online, it looks like each body they put out was a little different than the last.

[@King-Ghidora]

I think that trike needs some metal flake paint of a couple of colors. Sort of like the paint jobs that 70's vans used to have. It's a great trike nonetheless. p.s. I just had to subscribe.

[@duanewhite3184]

Years ago I had a Plymouth scamp that I built into a hot rod it was a 73 had some slot mags on the back like your rims except for the flat part of the rim went straight into the hole there was no hump before the whole like on your rims it just went straight in I was told that they were rare rims😊

[@keithmoore5224]

Vw trike are light on the front (lead in the frame) my mate built a few he never used first and always fitted wheeley bars on the rear also the trail on the forksabout 2 inches life long uk biker 75 years young still building rieterd thialand

[@jimmygliss1171]

I would question the way the rear tires wear, they don't look they are rolling on the whole tire tread.

[@billyking722]

That should of been a Corvair motor

[@duggydugg3937]

will have wide custom wheels to trade once i get stock 16" servicar wheels

[@mikehatter1800]

what happens to frame is They pull a wheeley and turn forkes So when it comes down it bends frame tube It is too light 2by2 is too light 2by4 tubeing works

[@theriderdtm8650]

✌🏻😊

[@600wheel]

I love this video I’m about to subscribe to your channel and I was looking through it and especially the last few videos the reason nobody clicks on them is because you can’t see anything in your thumbnails, there’s literally nothing that catches the eye you have to study them to figure out what you’re looking at and with the last ones you still don’t have any idea. I don’t mean this offensively at all. What I’ve seen so far I love the channel and I would like to see it succeed and I am disabled so I spend a lot of time watching KZbin, a thumbnail is what gets a person who is just scrolling to click on a video it’s not what it says it’s what it looks like people just don’t have the patience anymore to read I know it’s sad but it’s the truth I hope this helps cause that’s all I’m trying to do I’m not trying to insult in anyway

[@onearm5827]

just found this video the frame was filled with lead so the front end would stay on the ground i have a 1985 stiers full bodied trike and it is hard to keep the front wheel on the ground

[@matslindahl7252]

🤜🤛👍👍🤟

[@mesasavage]

What happened to the skateboard wheel pedals?

[@duggydugg3937]

looking for a pair of stock servicar rear wheels for a 63 frame..

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

What 70s trike isn't bent?

[@ricklevitt8917]

Going from one bike that has different controls you can lose a split second reaction time at the wrong time. I dig foot controls but on the brake I like a left-right peddle that can be used independently and where I can hit both. On farm tractors you have a piece that flips over to lock them together but trikes don't have the greatest steering and being able to lock one side or the other is a decently bonus...o~`o

[@davidnichols565]

It would pass as one built in the 70s ... looks just like one you would see in those days

[@timothymcinvale8852]

I realy want a vw based trike I can use as a service vehicle with toolboxes and a rack for a 6 ft ladder!! any ideas?

[@rickywhite7578]

I'm not a fan of chopping off the rear fenders, they protect the rider from road debris. Other than that I'm a fan of the old school trike.
