Matthews Trike

Anyone heard of, or seen a Matthews trike? One just arrived at my shop today.

It has a 3 speed Shimano hub, and coaster brake. It's in ratty condition, but it can be a winner. When it warms up, I'll take some pics.

Thanks for the link Fasteddy, I did find out that the model I have is an Idlewild ser#13304.

Have to finish the Bremen Flyer before I can start on the trike. I'd like to lower the seat and have a lower center of gravity. Then, maybe I'll see how I can motorize it. It already has an electric front wheel drive, don't know how good the motor is, but we'll see later.

Thanks again.

Well, to start this build, I extended the trike 10". That should be more than enough. Now to widen the stance. More to follow.
