Now you're worrying me. How can you ride a trike when your eyesight's that bad?

Thats going to look good. Draw some handlebars on it, are they gonna be big bars for a relaxed riding position or short uncomfortable lean forward get back ache bars.

If only we'd had the technology -& brains, to design ours on a computer! So much easier than propping it all up on lumps of wood & stuff.
Looks great Rob. I like the red. The base of the tank would look better sat level to the ground wouldn't it? -mimicking the line of the rocker cover, but would mean altering the frame layout behind it to flow with the curve of the "tail" of the tank. The uprights either side of the gearbox are further forward on most of our frames. Flap's is a bit different because he's got such a big tank. Ours come down only an inch or so behind the starter motor pinnion.
Flat bars! Definitely totally flat, wide uns no higher than the tank so the trike's got a sort of hunched, aggressive look -exactly what I've got planned for my own!!

Rob, the nice DHL bloke's just collected your tank so it's winging it's way to you as I type. Hope it reaches you in one, undented, piece. 5 minutes after he left your cheque dropped through the letterbox. Thanks matey.  |
