haha yup, pulled from the junk pile of a warehouse that was being demolished!
I'm thinking of taking all the nylon bits off (they're disintegrating anyway, trailer is pretty old) and just using the frame as a base to add a platform (wood, or maybe new nylon straps as a weave), and some kind of rack to hold the kayak.
Geepig thanks that's actually pretty helpful, made me realise there are a bunch of other options lying around - reminded me my daughter's bike (too small now, have been meaning to get rid of it) and although no bike co-op, I volunteer at my neighborhood center and they often get bikes in for junking, shouldn't be too long to wait for some appropriately sized wheels. I still quite like the idea of fat tires but I can wait on that, see how I get on with the cheap version first and add fat if I feel the need. thanks!
Yup will post when I get something to show....
