Good job ! It is rewarding when you do it yourself and those big reds are tough machines!

Very nice. I have been rebuilding bikes since I was your age. My first real job was at a bike shop at 14. That is cool that you did it alone!

I'm only 16 teen my self I am looking into buying a 110 bigred and doing it my self. I wanted to make my first project on something smaller and cheaper. I am hoping to have the trike some time next month and I am planing on rigging it for snow with chained tires or maybe invest in winter if i can find them at the right price and size with a ski for ice fishing. I will definitly be getting help from my step father tho. So congrats to you and hope to see more from you

110s are not Big Reds. Better buy a manual.

That Big Red looks great. I never had toys growing up, So I do now. Your lucky to not only have one, But build one.
