    Great build mate! sorry to hear about your off, these trikes can be as skittish as hell. I has a big off on my mates, it made me think, hell I have to build one of these! Lol look forward to seeing how the steering dampener works, I’ve had them on motorbiles before and they work a treat.

    i am thinking of putting a noodle there, however at the moment it work. The eyelet is for hanging it up in the garage, saves room. the headrest is a bit pointless to be fair, it more in my back. However it works as a back rest. I’ll probably change the seat sometime.

    So there you go, she is all finished. I made a couple of modifications to her, one being how the bottom bracket is attached. As only I will be using her I bolted it down. I also fitted a rear mudguard. Ive built some things over the years but this was the most fun, it rides a treat and I can...

    What do you think of these wheels?

    I went for 48 spoke for extra strength, but I’m sure they will be fine, they look spot on.

    Yes thanks, I’m feeling much better… I painted the frame and steering and have started putting it back together. started with an acid etch primer then a couple of coats of rattle can. I ran out of black on the swing arm so I’ve done a two tone.

    While I’m suffering with Plague I thought I would get the seat covered. My intent is to have it professionally covered but I wanted to give it a go anyway.. I got myself a £15 parkside staple gun and it was worth every penny.. I know I went a bit gun ho, but hey who knew a staple gun could be...

    Needed to store it correctly as it’s taking up too much room in the garage.

    Today I fitted the lugs for the rear gears and gave it another test ride. I decided on a old 90’s LX rear mech, that I paid about £3 for. I’ve totally rebuilt it and fired new jockey wheels. Its a quality bit of kit and runs as smooth as grease. The gears and the brakes work well, really well...

    I did wonder what it was that most people use… I’ll look it up, thanks for that. Today I started on the cable’s…. Holy moly this is daunting, its like a snakes wedding, I had cables and wires everywhere. I decided at the start I wanted welded cable guides like bicycles. This means the cables...

    I fitted the chain guide, ie two lengths of garden hose pipe. I’ve decided to do this as while riding it the chain really did swing, it’s also a heck of a lot quieter… it actually works really well. The beauty of hose is it flexible, strong and easy to replace if need be.
