Free to a good home

This custom conveyance was built for the FrankenBike competition organized, but later cancelled, by the Museum of Science. Without the deadline pressure, the project was never quite finished. I needed the space in the garage so that I could do the welding workshops for Boston Burners. The bike has two front wheels which need to be joined with a bike chain to synchronize steering. The rear wheel drive is functional, but the deraileur system needs some work to get multiple gears. The steering wheel was salvaged from the bus chassis used for the Busycle Project. The wiring harness is in-tact and can easily be united with a battery and some lights, horn, or other fun addition. It should be easy to put in shape by someone with a little bit of bike mechanics skill.
