I'm looking forward to making a few sculptures that we can also use in our garden, as well as some Frankenbikes, though that might be a longer-term project - I don't want to spend money on it, so I'm hoping to source all of my parts from the trash - so far, I'm up to four frames, and my marriage is still intact!

You are in good company my friend. Here's my trike:
