Fixing the recumbent bike part 3, trike to bike conversion

 

First trip after rebirth, to the grog shop of course.

Jigging to hold nut in place before it is brazed on. A nut at each end stops the red spacers from sliding.

Rear fork assembly.

All put together

2 rear frames of bike. there are 4 altogether, front fork, front frame, mid frame and rear fork.

Rear wheel on

Switcheroo from trike

to bike without tailbox to bike with tailbox as shown below. Note mud marks from 2 trike wheels on tailbox.

2nd trip on new bike. Our local Facebook Good Karma Network advertised this for free, and I was quick to head out the door to snap it up. It will replace one stolen from the Wecycle bike shed where I volunteer.

 

 

Hi

Managed to ride the recumbent bike today. I have been repairing and hopefully improving it since it broke 5 weeks ago . There is still a bit of work to go on this part of the resto, after which I hope to refurb and make new some tailboxes.

Plan to paint the rear fork, fit lights to the dyno hub, and add some fairings to the rear wheel frame. As always, will report more later.

Regards

Steve Nurse
