Close up of seat suspension, the front is a simple pivot . I welded a tube through the frame, and brought 2 plates down to each side. Welded a little boss into each plate so the pivot rod goes through the components

This is the colour scheme. Seat will remain Grey, most of the other trim (armrests, saddle, various trims) in blue leather

All this detail work takes forever, hope it shows at the end Smiley
It will Smiley
Nice use of suspension units.
I assume that they are mountain bike rear suspension units. Are the std. springs ok or have you fitted lighter ones?

Yes they are mountain bike shocks. I have left the springs on that came with them. If they need changing i"ll do that once we've run her and seen how they perform. No idea really but they do move on a heavy sit down, but not much!

Look a bit top heavy in the photos, but in real life they look ok. This is 100% a family trike! Being able to fold them flat should improve the streamlining when i am on my own i hope. This is very much a learning project ha ha
