Hi,
Just won some indespension style trailer arms/hubs/wheels, and am planning on using them to build a bike trailer I can store in my boot or on a shelf in the garage.
I have a few ideas:

or my favorite:

I was just wondering a few things -
1) can anyone think of any cool additions to my favorite design - I'm thinking of fitting a front wheel clamp on a runner with my winch (which i no longer need) dragging the bike on.
2) how much do you think the last one will cost for a) the steel and b) to get it galvenised.
Depending on cost I may just hammerite it, but with all the bits slidding over each other, I think galv may be best
the reason I'm making my own is that I can't see how the £300-£500 is justifiable.
Whats your thoughts please folks?
