Finally got back to working on my own new trike frame this week.
I'd got it to the basic, bare bones stage a month or so ago, then Ska Man & I got involved in building Critch's frame & mine got side-lined. Along the way I decided I preferred the one we built him to my own & promptly cut mine up again! So it's back to tube bending, welding, grinding, more welding....seem to be permanently living in my grubby garage clothes lately.
This will be exactly the same as Critch's -solo saddle, gear change on the left beneath the rider's leg, small integral luggage rack, front mounted Reliant radiator etc. Going to experiment with a hydrauliically activated clutch arm this time. Today I finished filing the welds on the axle clamps smooth, (ish), then made up & tack-welded the top tube. I'll be using a standard Harley Sportster tank donated by Mr Critchley.
This is definitely, positively the last one I'm doing! Maybe.
